The Grand
Arvon Brewing Co.

 

I tried an 8oz serving of this beer off the tapper at the brewery whilst in Grand Rapids for "guys beer weekend". It poured a smoothie hazy golden with white head that left some lace. The scent had citrus fruit and floral hop notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with semi sweet malt base coupled with citrus fruit and subtle pine presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

 

My last can from Arvon. Pours hazy, NEIPA style. Light aroma, with some wine grape, pineapple and passion fruit. Sip follows the aroma, with a little bit of the NEIPA chalky-hop burn character—perhaps due to the few weeks since canning.

 

ONE PINT can
Served in a stemless wine glass

This beer pours an orangish shade of yellow and is turbid. It is topped with an inch of creamy beige head that leaves some nice lacing.

Citrus aroma with hints of melon

Citrus up front. Grapefruit asserts itself through the middle and carries into the finish. Grapefruit pith and a little pine in the finish.

Full bodied with a creamy mouthfeel

Nice beer. Not one of Arvon's best, but this beer still blows away 90% of the "hazy" turds out there. As I become disenfranchised with this style due to the plethora of mediocre examples, Arvon stands a shining beacon of excellence.

 

A - Pours a cloudy golden orange with a thin creamy white head. Tons of soapy lacing.

S - Aroma is pineapple, orange and grapefruit.

T - The taste is tangerine, peach, pineapple, grapefruit & piney hops

M - Medium body with medium carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel with a soft dry finish.

O - Really tasty NEPA. Bright tropical fruits with a light hoppy kick. Arvon is really making some great NEPAs.

 

Thank you strohme2 for this
16 oz can, dated 10/1/19, poured into a teku

A- A hazy golden orange with three finger white head.

S- Citrus, grapefruit, pineapple, spruce, some tropical fruits, some pine, touch of malts.

T- Citrus, spruce, pine, pineapple, grapefruit, touch of pale malts.

M- Smooth, medium body, creamy.

O- A really nice IPA, I really like that Arvon has been having some classic bitterness in their hazy IPAs.

 

Pours a hazy orange with a one inch white head that left ample lacing. Smells of citrus and tropical fruit, pine and herbal notes. Tastes of orange, orange peel, tangerine, mango, cantaloupe, pine and herbal notes. Medium bodied, highly carbonated (a bit too much carbonation), smooth mouth feel, low to medium lingering bitterness, slightly dry finish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks great, smells of orange but also melon, vanilla, has a beautiful smoothness, velvety. Subtle piney hop bitterness lingers nicely. This is another fantastic beer from Arvon, it’s worth tracking down.
