COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Arcadia introduces the newest addition to its stable of world class British-style ales. Brewed with the legendary Maris Otter Malt from Scotland, this beer is full-bodied and brings a taste of sweet caramel together with a hint of toasted malt that's well balenced with a solid presence of premium American aromatic flower leaf hops. From the package: "Then let us toast John Barleycorn, Each man a glass in hand; And may his great posterity ne'er fail in old Scotland!"

Pours hazy and gushing. Uh-oh. Looks like a Belgian ale. murky brown with a giant head. Fruity caramel CO2 aroma. Rather bitter, somewhat earthy, a little fruity, slightly watery, mildly hoppy. Not well realized.

This one poured with a garnet color and a long lasting "dirty" brown head of pillow like nature. The carmel malt was toasty with the sweet caramel (of course) flavor and hint of chocolate and raisin. The hops were on the verge of grassy, but remained "clear" and gave a good finish. I’d have another.

cking (1175) - North Canton, Ohio, USA - FEB 21, 2008
Clear amber-brownish copper color with a lasting 1/2" frothy head and nice stringy lacing. Aroma is woody with a delicate mix of grassy and toasted malt. Medium bodied with a creaminess that finishes watery and bitter. Burnt caramel and toffee flavors backed up by some toast and grassy, bittering hops. This beer soon grew overly bitter and bland, not too far off from the style.

checkmatei1 (764) - Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 14, 2008
Bottle: Poured an amber color with an over carbonated head that took 5 minutes to pour. The aroma was light and citrus. The flavor was decent, nothing to write home about. Hint of caramel and lemon with a sweet after taste. This beer was alright, but could be consumed in large quantity.

haddon90 (1200) - Tustin, California, USA - JAN 6, 2008
Pours a hazy amber color with a frothy off white head. Citrusy aroma, with a hint of nice hops. Chewy, floral taste. Might have a bad bottle, since mine didn’t appear to be over carbonated. Hoppy finish. Not bad, but seems more like a Pale then amber.

over carbonated. almost undrinkable. Maybe the bottle was bad but I don’t think so. It was un pourable and very , well - crappy. this one is a loser.

jvmiller (558) - Bel Air, Maryland, USA - DEC 25, 2007
Absolutely completely uninteresting and indistinguishable. Just an overcarbonated monodimensional use of malt and a few hops. BORING.
