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.

A nice dry ale, with notes of apple and spices against a well carbonated base.

Bottle. Murky honey brown. Small white head. Sweet light fruit and Orange peel dominate taste and scent. very drinkable due to the lack of wheat.

12 oz. bottle from Sudsy’s. Nice orange/light amber color with a foamy, off white head. Spicy and fruity nose, lemon and coriander. Medium fizzy, carbonic body with moderately lacing head. Sweet fruit, apple and pear with a mild sour/funk note. Very dry with just a touch of roasted malt. Spicy notes during dry after. This is interesting. I think it’s good, if this what it’s supposed to be, more like a farmhouse ale than a straight wheat beer. Nonetheless, I like the flavors dancing throughout. I really do hope this is what they were shooting for. Not bad.

20070519 12oz bottle. Clouded golden color with lasting white head and visible eff. It’s a bit funky and weird, but in a good way. Phenolic and yeasty, biscuit dough.

A pleasant Belgian Wit that goes down well in the summer. Nice flavors of orange and a hint of spice balance well with the wheat backbone.
