A bronze medalist at the 2017 Best Florida Beer competition, our IPA rolls in with an intense citrusy hop aroma. Arcus is brewed with two-row Canadian barley and Mosaic hops. The addition of wildflower honey from Pasco County lends a balancing sweetness for a clean finish.

Look is brilliant orange copper color. Nose is tropical fruits with mango prevalent. Taste is full and robust with minimal alcohol kick. Will definitely try again!

Thanks to JHartley for this one. 12oz can poured into 12oz tulip. Poured a lightly hazy (not turbid or murky, actual haze) Amber-Orange color with about 3/4 inch of off-white head that had moderate retention and lacing.
On the nose, a caramel note was equal with the grapefruity hops, with some pine notes in the background. Very much the same across the palate. The bittering hops were a touch more prominent, with the pine less noticeable.
The body was the typical medium of a "Traditional" American IPA. Drinkability was good, I'd throw a sixer in the fridge on occasion if this were local to me. Overall, a good, solid job on the style. Worth trying if you see it.

I enjoyed this Ale. Poured from a can into a tumbler. I was surprised by the taste of this one. It seemed more like a really good Pale Ale, not an IPA. Hops were weak but it was somewhat pleasant and refreshing.
