Draft at the brewery. Murky, pulpy red-purple body, thin pink head. Floral, fruity, pulpy nose. The body hits like a blackberry smoothie, sweet and tart with sulfuric notes, these thankfully modest.

Slightly hazy straw body, medium off-white head. Nose grassy, spicy, and biscuity. Light, crisp body, mostly floral-grassy hops, with a modest bready, cerealy backdrop. Clean and tasty.

Draft (nitro) at brewery. Deep translucent garnet-brown body, thick, dense cream head. Nice dry, roasty nose with cocoa and coffee. Body same as the nose, dry and roasty. Had none of the acidic, woody bite that plagues so many oatmeal stouts, but there was an unfortunate seaweed-like sliminess that lessened my enjoyment.

Draft at the brewery. Murky peach smoothie body, thin cream head. Aroma big and sweet, tropical, with guava and passionfruit. Sweet, creamy body, loaded with juicy tropical fruits and berries, including guava, passionfruit, and mango, with modest dank notes adding some depth. Delicious.

Can from the brewery. Muddy opaque orange body, thick cream head. Aroma primarily tropical fruits (pineapple, banana, papaya, guava) and hints of bubblegum. Chewy and yeasty. Big, creamy, thick tropical fruit smoothie body, loaded with pineapple, papaya, stone fruits, guava, and banana. Perhaps a touch of warmth in the chest, but otherwise the booziness is well-hidden. Simcoe is such a delight.

Can from the brewery. Hazy pumpkin pie-like dark orange-brown body, medium puffy cream head. Nose spicy, leafy, and dank, boozy, with huge sugared citrus peel, stone fruits, and even some caramel. Body big and sweet, with orange, candied orange peel, and a fruit cocktail including pineapple, mango, pear, and peach, all sort of muddled together and finishing with surprisingly little bite. Not unpleasant, but among the least enjoyable offerings from Arvon.

Can from the brewery. Cloudy, medium orange-brown body, medium puffy cream head. Nose sugary and tropical, with pineapple and papaya primarily. Body same as the nose, big on tropical fruits (papaya and pineapple) with some pink grapefruit and grassy bite in the finish, relatively dry on balance. The citrusy character increases over time. Good.

Can from the brewery. Body is a murky, cloudy red morass topped by a pink head. Nose tart berries and sulfuric. Intense, sweet-sharp body, loaded with juicy berries and otherwise sulfuric. Big, sweet, fleshy, and tart, but I'm not a huge fan of the sulfur notes.

Can from the brewery. Murky peach-papaya orange-brown smoothie body, thin cream head. Nose dank and fruity, with papaya, passionfruit, and citrus. Body very sweet, juicy, tropical. A little (or a lot) of everything here- peach, passionfruit, guava, papaya, stone fruits, and citrus (lime), all buoyed by a generous sweetness. The finish is almost minty, with hardly any booziness despite the 10.5% ABV. Yum.
