Cloudy pale orange-brown body, medium beige head. Sharp, sweet nose, citrus juice, with orange, pink grapefruit, lime, and some earthy stonefruit undertones. Creamy yet spritzy body, full with a mildly sweet, fleshy, neutral stonefruit and bubblegum base accentuated by sharper lemon-lime and pepper notes at the front and lingering in the finish. A lot going on here; I love the interplay of the sharp-biting and earthy-umami elements.

Deep black-purple body, like blackberry syrup, and the most vivid red-purple head I've ever seen. Nose tang, cobwebs, tannins, and berry flesh that reminds me of breaking open a pomegranate. Body tart but sweet, too, just loaded with tannic, juicy currants and hints of graham. Just a wild, lip-smacking concoction begging for a Tide pod.

Murky apricot orange-brown body, thin-medium off-white to cream head. Nose an explosion of passionfruit, complemented with guava, melon, and lime tang. Body big, sweet, and dramatically juicy, emphasizing tropical fruits (passionfruit, guava, pineapple, papaya), peach, and lime, with little bite in the finish. A mixed tropical fruit juice bomb of a beer.

Murky apricot-orange body, medium cream head. Juicy tropical fruit nose, with passionfruit, guava, bubblegum, and a touch of garlic. The body is a blast of citrus and tropical fruits--tart, juicy, and sweet, with lime, tangerine/orange, passionfruit, pineapple, and some spicy vegetal notes. Very good, though I think Citra benefits from having some company.

Murky apricot-orange body, medium cream head. Juicy nose with minty-vegetal tropical fruit rind and hints of bubblegum. Body robust, creamy, juicy (papaya, especially) with a nice spicy bite from the rye; hints of tobacco and bubblegum; and some raw green vegetal elements in the finish. Another decadent Arvon IPA.

Deep chocolate-brown body with the faintest of garnet translucency, thin tan head. Nose mostly chocolate syrup and roast. Full-bodied, luscious and creamy, dominated by tangy-sweet chocolate syrup with subdued roast and some warming booziness. None of the woody astringency that too often asserts itself in similar beers. Fairly simple for an 11% ABV stout, but tasty, and wonderfully silky.

Pours a swampy pale apricot-brown body topped by a thin, clumping off-white head. Nose initially a sharp burst of passionfruit, then papaya, tangy melon rind, and dank resins. Creamy, round body, juicy with a medley of fruits, including melon, passionfruit, grapefruit, guava, pineapple, and even a hint of banana. Very fresh and a tad raw with a vegetal-medicinal-minty burn. Just jammed with juicy goodness. Another stellar beer from Arvon.

Cloudy, milky orange creamsicle body, thin-medium cream head. Sweet, rindy, tart, and emphatically juicy nose, mostly tangerine and grapefruit. The body is likewise all-on juice, initially mostly sugared citrus with some bite, but relaxing to a luscious blend of passion fruit, peach, stone fruit, and pineapple. That's a damn fine pint of beer.

Hazy pineapple-yellow-orange-brown body, thin off-white head. Nose tart, grassy, tangy, with fruit rind and medicinal booziness. Body tart, cobwebby/lactic, and boozy, with heavy vinous character, even grapy, and not much in the way of obvious mango.
