Arvon Brewing Co.

 

Canned on 5/4/22; consumed on 5/30/22

Pours a turbid, nearly milky golden orange body topped with multiple fingers of rich, silky, white foam; great head retention yields a finger and a half of dense, wavy cap, a thin, creamy collar, and thick layers of chunky lacing coating the walls of the glass in its entirety.

Aroma shows a rye undertone invigorating an earthy undercurrent to lighter grapefruit, with fresh passionfruit brightness meeting juicy, dank spice enmeshed in peaking orange and tangerine throughout the bouquet.

Taste of white gummy bears and subtle mango sherbet upfront gain a light, musty rye tone into fresh grapefruit; a familiar passionfruit brightness over the mid-palate finds orange pulp and tangerine flesh into the back end, while grassy resins linger through the finish.

Mouthfeel offers a medium body and moderate carbonation, showing fluffy textures fading to a juicy twang over the mid-palate and a slight, rye-adjacent grit into the back end; a rounded, semi-crisp heft offers a quiet dryness underscoring an otherwise resinous finish.

Rye grain counterbalances an overtly citric display, with waves of tropical pseudo-sweetness undercutting a resinous, hoppy twang; a complete NEIPA from Arvon here, bright and consistently flavorful.

 

 

 

 

A - Pours a hazy golden orange with a thin creamy white head. Heavy amount of soapy lacing.

S - Aroma is orange, pineapple, mango and resinous hops.

T - The taste is pineapple, orange, guava, grapefruit with a nice resinous hop bite in the finish.

A - Turbid and milky orange with a silky pillow of head that films along the glass but doesn't stick.

S - Big nose on this bad boy - citrus rind, piney, fruity, hop resin.

T - Big punch of tropical hops, fruit forward followed by a somewhat dank and lingering dry bitterness. Guava, grapefruit, citrus dominate the flavor profile. Silky smooth creamy mouthfeel.

O- Another really strong NEIPA from Arvon.

2-week-old can poured into a stemless wide-mouth wine glass.

Pours a beautiful pineapple-orange juice body, and man is this one creamy looking. Full haze with a lot of murk, but not in a chunky or turbid way — like well-strained fruit juice. Nice bright-white head to start, little more than a bubbly foam later, but really nice rings of lacing. This one is gorgeous.

Dank and weedy on the nose, big citrus and tropical fruit. Wine grape, green tea, a little onion and garlic, and a touch of pine. But this one is all about the fruit, including pineapple, grapefruit, orange, mango, lemon-lime, guava, and a little apricot.

Taste follows with the citrus, tropical fruit, grape, and grassiness. Some crackery malt and a touch of salinity. Weedy and a little oniony. But there’s a starchy greeness that knocks it backwards just a touch.

Feel is incredibly silky and creamy (for a hoppy beer). Just luscious. There’s a bit of a bite and burn, but I’m pretty sure that’s the hops and particulate, not the alcohol.
