Brewed by Arcadia Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Battle Creek, Michigan USA

Serve in English pint, Shaker

Opened 12 oz with huge pop and could barely pour this sucker in without it overflowing. Murky orange, amber appearance, with off white head. Aroma sweet with orange, apple, and very light hop notes. Tastes sweet, but slightly infected, like bandaids. Medium body with little carbonation that could have left when it was poured. Not impressed.

(12oz bottle) Small off-white head atop lightly hazed amber body. Aroma is moderately sweet, sour cherry. Taste is medium sweet, sour cherry, light caramel. Light-medium body. Undoubtedly infected, but tastes ok this way.

Bottle sampled with Beerded_one. Pours copper/amber with a small white quickly dissapating head. Aroma of toasted caramel malts and floral hops. The flavor is caramel, floral, sweet, and floral with a tiny hoppy bitterness in the finish.

very thin, copper color with light head. orange and carmel, and some floral stuff with the potential that pennies were sitting at the bottom of the bottle. a decent brew but nothing to shake a stick at.

Arcadia Amber Ale 12 oz bottle Unknown bottling (notched E and G), reddened 02/07. Medium pour in a tulip glass Poured amber with an average fizzy off-white mostly diminishing head. Smelt of moderate sweat and caramel and of light dark bread. Taste was upfront moderately bitter sweet and sour orange and caramel and light toasted bread followed by a strong bitter perfume and herbs hops characteristics with a moderate sweet caramel orange on an average length finish. Palate was light to medium bodied, watery, lively carbonated and lightly astringent Overall, an interesting British style amber. It could use a tinge more malt flavor in my opinion. A bit disappointing for an Arcadia product.

On tap at the Muddy Pig. Copper colored pour with a general wheat bread crust quality and little else. Mildly hoppy and floral, quite metallic. Reasonable.

it is a decent beer from a great bewer. it tastes like your typical amber ale

Single bottle from Wine Vault, Columbus, OH. Snifter. Pours a barely murky amber with a beautiful, frothy, off-white head; head is easily revived with swirling. Aroma is sour and astringent and citrusy with a really sharp sweetness like an apple lollipop; caramel; light, bitter hops through the finish. Flavor is sour, sort of tangy, and exhibits lots of malt and caramel; dry, alcohol-laden, tart finish. Medium-thick, frothy, and sticky body. I would have guessed this bottle was past its prime, but since the preceding rater says many of the same things as me, I suspect this is what the beer is supposed to be like, unless we both got bottles from the same bad batch. It’s extremely rare that I do this, but some of this beer is going down the drain.
