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!"

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.

Light ruby pour, slight white head. Mostly malt with light toffee/caramel. Some of the earthy tones of Arcadias other brews, but not enough hop bite. A pretty average amber with a little more alcohol than usual.

Unfiltered amber with the trademark (at least from the bottles I bought) colossal tan head. Aroma of grassy hops, cereal, light sweet malts and something musty. Over carbonated and caramel, earthy hops with a mild bitter – yet sweet – finish.

A very nice looking darker orange, cloudy with plenty of rolling carbonation for a show. Big foamy unfading head, probably because it was subject to a sudden jolt. Good carbonation. Chocolaty and malty at times. Quickly revealing lacing. Strong on the alky side as far as taste impression goes. Long lingering bitter finish. Quite a personality. .

12 oz. notched at "E" and "1", whatever that means. Cloudy copper with a huge head that walks out of the bottle and sticks around. Spicy peach, caramel, some earthy old-style barbershop hair tonic and grain in the aroma. Flavor is the same, plus some acidic apple-cherry notes after a bit, and a woody caramel apple finish. Light-medium body is smoothish and dryish with a little too much frothiness at times.

Wow what a great and different beer. This is not an amber ale, though. This tastes like a specialty grain or spice beer. Aroma of sorghum and caramel malt. Pour was a nice medium amber with a one finger off white head. Taste was very different so I can’t describe it. Nice and bitey with a floral taste throughout. Very refreshing, just can’t put my finger on these tastes.
