Pulpy, murky body, like a peach and papaya juice smoothie topped by a thin off-white head. Nose dense, juicy and estery with tropical fruit and pit, especially papaya. Body reminiscent of unfiltered pink grapefruit juice, with loads of papaya, guava, and sugared citrus peel finishing with vegetal onion notes. A huge NEIPA that strikes the perfect balance among tart, sweet, and spicy/bitter elements. Stunning.

Milky, dingy orange creamsicle body, thin off-white head. Potent nose with pink grapefruit juice and tangerine vying with pineapple and papaya, also some estery-spicy notes. Creamy, juicy but not especially sweet body, with an emphasis on grapefruit juice/peel and spicy, vegetal tropical fruit skin along with the requisite pineapple and papaya. Some bitter/chaffy hop burn in the finish that lingers long after the glass is emptied.

Filthy, cloudy swamp-water orange mud body, thick puffy cream head. Juicy, gummy, rindy nose with tangerine, pineapple, and hints of lime rind, then papaya and minty mango skin. Juicy and somewhat tart body, a medley of tropical fruits including pineapple, mango, and guava, with hints of grapefruit and bubblegum. Finishes with tropical fruit skin zing. Very nice.

Sample during the It Would Brighton MI Birthday If Yoopers Could Lake It To This Tasting! event on 09/18/2020. Hazy pale golden color with a medium thin white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. The aroma consists of passionfruit, wheat, yeast and malt. Medium body with a sweet and sour passionfruit character and notes of floral yeast and doughy malt. The finish is juicy passionfruit and wheat. Good beer all around.

Murky body, like a peach-papaya smoothie cloud bomb, topped by a medium, clumping off-white head. Very juicy nose dominated by papaya and tangerine, with light dank vegetal notes. Body initially sharp and sweet with a blast of papaya and tangerine juice, finishing bitter in the sense of a lingering dank film on the palate. Raw and green despite the addition of oats. Delicious but could be dialed back a bit.

Cloudy, murky medium orange-brown body, like a dingy papaya juice or smoothie with a thick, puffy light cream head. Aroma initially a burst of pineapple, then sugary papaya and very light vegetal notes. Creamy/milky body, mostly papaya juice and papaya skin with some pineapple. A straightforward but no-holds-barred delicious take.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a glowing, hazy straw gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Straight raw hops on the nose with pith and green notes. Lots of hopburn on the finish that turns astringent like sandpaper. Never had an Arvon this rough.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a hazy, glowing neon gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates. Big dank nose with pineapple, arugula, kiwi and papaya on the nose. More of the same on the palate. A bit green, but mellows out as it warms up. Some peach and mango with prickly pear and pine on the finish. Solid.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a clearish orange gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Punchy citrus, pineapple and mango on the nose. Palate is similar, fairly smooth. ABV hidden well. Enjoyable.
