Commercial Description:
Arcadia Whitsun is a modern interpretation of a mid-19th century English spring and summer festival ale. It is light golden in color with a rich, creamy head, full bodied and has a lightly toasted caramel flavor. The addition of Michigan star thistle honey contributes a uniquely smooth drinkability to this unfiltered wheat ale.

The oak tannins are reminiscent of a cask conditioned ale. Nice orangish coloration. Good carbonation.

Draught at TJ’s: Aroma of wheat and light lemon. Poured deep yellow in color with a medium-sized, off-white head that diminished but lasted as a film on top of the beer. slightly hazy. Slightly sparkling. Lightly sweet flavor. Tastes of lemon, grains, water, and wheat. Light to medium body. Thin, slightly chalky texture. Average carbonation. Sweet wheat finish.

Pours a slightly hazy orange body. Aroma is some wheat, hop, and orange. The taste is similar, but much much maltier.

A light amber colored beer with a very small head that was a few shades lighter than the beer. Sweet and fruity describes the nose. Nectarine is the first thing tasted and it is bitter sweet. Wheat flavors seep in late and never come close to matching the fruit. There is little effervescence but some spiciness tingles the tongue just a bit. It finishes with a spicy flourish

12oz bottle 5/9/09 (Binny’s Plainfield)-Pours a goldenish amber with a small covering for a head. Aroma of citrus, caramel, wheat, and orange. Taste of orange, wheat, malt, caramel, honey, and slight hops. This light bodied brew is the first one from Arcadia that actually came across as somewhat fresh. Not bad and quite drinkable.

12 oz bottle poured into a snifter. Murky caramel color with small off-white head. Aroma is predominantly apples, with some sweet malt, wheat, and light citrus. Taste of sweet and tart apples. Medium mouthfeel with light crisp carbonation. Quenching, not bad.
