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!"

Old rating Amber color, one fingered head. Aroma is sweet; light caramel, mild earthiness/spiciness, some fruit? Taste is light caramel, malty, and slightly sweet. Mild earthy & spicy finish. Typical blah amber ale; light malt, light english-type hops.

mephisto (1252) - TAIWAN - OCT 27, 2007
cloudy amber colored with off white head, this ale has slight floral aroma with note of hops. sweet and malty in flavor, it finishes rather bitter and feels a bit lacking in balance.

frankenkitty (1953) - Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA - AUG 29, 2007
Mid-amber in color with a minimalist head. Sweet honeybun aroma with mild toffee and florals. Mid-bodied, a little "wet". Flavor concentrates on malts with a touch of lemony bitterness in the finish. Well made, but with so much more to experience, a sample is all I needed of this today.

KUEric (825) - Washington, Washington DC, USA - AUG 7, 2007
A very interesting amber Ale. It had some pear-fruity flavors. Definitely took the British approach to this ale. There was a tall billowing off-white head that really pretty to look at. Average at best.

jstraw (1098) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JUL 25, 2007
UPDATED: AUG 18, 2007 Cloudy amber with big, floatsam head / Sour malt nose / Medium body, overly carbonated with no finish / Fizz dominates sour apple and sugar flavors, tasting like a hard cider / Back to the drawing board.

Cornfield (5240) - Oak Forest, Illinois, USA - JUL 18, 2007
A creamy, sustained head rests atop a clear amber body. Spotty lacing. The aroma is malty, balanced with fruity and floral scents. The flavor is of sweet malt, orchard fruits, and a solid floral/herbal bitterness.Good sessionable ale.
Personal Milestone: Amber Ale Rating #100 (out of 3570) !!!!!

BDR (2535) - Roseville, Minnesota, USA - JUL 17, 2007
Cloudy amber color with massive off white head (I only had to pour a fourth of the bottle to fill my Surly glass entirely with foam). Cotton candy sweet nose. Similar overly candy sweet body with a faint malt characteristic.
