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.

Has a golden orange pour with a white to off-white head, looks pretty clear with a touch of haze, aromas of orange fruit, such as the inside of an orange skin (pith?), faint honey sweetness with malt and a smidgen of flowers, orange flavor with toasted malt, has a citrus crisp bitterness at the finish, there is a faint lingering sweetness after the finish, less than medium mouth feel, a good Summer drink.

very average. Had this in a variety pack. I won’t be going out of my way for this beer. Very bland, a poor representation of a wheat beer.

BPW #32 Served on tap at Arcadia Brewing Company. Appearance is a cloudy orange with a bit of white head. The aromas and flavors are sweet orange and light wheat notes. This is a nice summer beer.

Dan’s Bachelor Party Extended Weekend Rating #27 of 90. Tap at Arcadia, shared taster (hands down best taster offering I’ve ever had...a total of 9-3oz pours for $7.99). Pours murky brown/orange. Faint yeast nose followed by light wheat taste. Just ok.

Hazy orange with a medium tan slowly fading crown. Aroma of caramel, toasted malt, wheat and honey. Taste of caramel, wheat sweet malt and honey. Not bad for a wheat ale.

Mondail 2009, Montreal. Not my favourite style, but I thought I’d give this one a try. It is cloudy creamsicle orange with a small head. The aroma is sweet oranges and spicy wheat - pretty straight-forward. There is lots of wheat in the flavour, more orange, and some sweetness. Not much of a finish. Decent body.

Not a fan... it was like a strange attempt at a Belgian wit, but it came across as a light beer mixed with lemon-lime soda... strange and unappetizing with a surprisingly bitter and strong hop presence.
