Arcadia Hilarious Haze

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

Draft sample at MBGF Summer 2009. Poured hazy amber color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate fruity citrus wheat aroma. Medium body with a thick smooth texture and lively carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Very drinkable beer.

Tap. Poured a slightly cloudy gold with a white head. Pine notes were present throughout the aroma as well as a few citrus notes from the hops. Flavor started a bit sweet and citrus but transitioned into more of a pure bitterness.

On tap at Crunchy’s, East Lansing. Murky peach-orange body, thin to medium clumping head. Soapy herbal nose with fruit and wheat tang. Soapy, bitter, herbal hops dominate the body, cutting the grassy wheat and peachy fruit notes. Strange.
