Burning a mere 36.7 light years away, the orange giant Arcturus is one of the brightest stars in the sky. Arcturus IPA unites a constellation of “C” hops (Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and Columbus) in the boil to create a formidable IPA. Strong citrus notes shine in a medium body accented by honey malt.

Draft pour at the brewery. Pours a dark copper with a big creamy head and lace. Wet hops aroma. Nice crisp flavor with some good hop character. Drinks nice. Solid IPA.

Keg at the taproom, 08/11/14. Clear golden with a decent off white covering. Nose is juicy hops, bitter orange, straw. Taste comprises light apricot, grapefruit, orange pith, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Adequate IPA but don’t get too excited about it.

Bright amber-bronze. Thin head. Fresh crackling malt, a bit of the malt is toasted. Fresh toasted malt, very clean, moderate bitterness.

On tap at Ecliptic, pours a clear golden orange with a small white head. Aroma and flavour are not the hoppiest, though there are very dry astringencies, with a dry biscuity malt backing. Balanced enough, but really boring. Not so good.

Interesting IPA. Bold, big but very smooth. Pours a clear light copper color with a large white head. The aroma is big zesty citrus. The flavor is light resin, big smooth oranges, medium bitterness, a bit of sweet toasted malts. Big clean ’C’ hop beer certainly. Superbly quaffable.
