Pours a hazy gold color with a foamy white head that lasts quite a while. Aroma of grapefruit and orange. Taste is sweet grapefruit. Smooth and creamy.

From can, within 2 weeks of canning. Pours like orange juice, looks like orange juice and smells like orange juice. Citrusy sweetness galore. But that's exactly the problem: it's sweet. It's too sweet. And the feel is syrupy thick. I barely wanted to finish one can. About 8oz serving is enough. And there is no bitterness in this, if you're use to drinking classic IPAs. Even for NE IPAs this isn't bitter, which is something it desperately lacks to balance the sweetness.

A - Pours a cloudy golden orange with a one finger creamy white head. Nice amount of soapy lacing.
S - Aroma is mango, pineapple, tangerine and dank hops.
T - The taste is ripe mango, pineapple, tangerine, guava, bready malts and a nice piney hop finish.
M - Medium body with medium carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel with a soft crisp finish.
O - This is killer. Sweet tropical fruits with a nice hop bite. Never could tell this was 9%.

This one pours a golden and sunny orange color, with a big fluffy head, and lots of lacing.
This smells like juicy peach, strawberry, lemon, orange, pineapple, and grapefruit,.
This is absolutely one of the best IPAs I've had in a little bit now - the juiciness is soft and sweet without getting overly cloying and gummy. There's a touch of bitterness, but it's mostly juice - with an intriguing peach and strawberry character that I love, along with some more typical OJ/grapefruit type stuff.
This is medium bodied, and very creamy, with a great drinkability to it. There's no hint of the booze you somewhat expect with a DIPA.
This was really impressive - it stood out to me even when IPAs rarely do anymore.

Overall a good quality double NEIPA, excellent mouth feel and a very drinkable beer.
The balance is a touch on the malty side which is the reason for the slightly lower ranking than most of the Arvon brews I've had.
