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!"

(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.

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) !!!!!

Bottle... Hazy amber ale with orange highlights and a fizzy, off-white head. Terrific retention. Malty & floral aroma with notes of biscuit, black tea, brown sugar, clover honey and sugar cookie. Sweet & malty flavor up front with touches of citrus fruit, pine, toffee and lemon. Adequate bitterness on the backside with notes of citrus rind, evergreen and zest of lemon. Medium-bodied and creamy with pillow-soft carbonation. Lengthy, lightly bitter, grassy finish.

Copper color with a taller diminishing light tan head. Sulfur, brown sugar and mild floral aromas. I don’t know where the sulfur is coming from, but it is there as I overdosed at paper mill once and can now smell it from miles away. I does diminish, but it leaves behind a mild vegetable nose. This leaves no punches pulled as the alcohol is quite evident from the start. Some mild caramel and toasted grain flavors work their way in, but for a style I have little respect for to begin with, this does not help the styles image. The aroma and the flavors do seem to pick up as it warms, with some mild fruit. but the damage is already done with a brutal start.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a extremely large sized head of all foam finely sized tan colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a very hazy no visible carbonation dark orange brown colored body and a good lacing. The mild aroma was malty dough and caramel malt. The crisp and clean mouth feel was tingly at the start with a mediumly tingly finish with a medium vinous aftertaste. The good flavor contained notes of malt hops and caramel. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.
