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.

12 oz bottle purchased at Lukas Liquors in Kansas City, MO. "A 5" stamped on bottle. Pour is slight haze golden, big 4 inch crackling white head. Head looks like soap bubbles and falls pretty fast with no lacing. Aroma of sweet floral wheat. A bit overly sweet for a wit. Taste is soapy sweet, some floral, some grassy spiciness. Wheat is in there too, but behind the sweet and spice. Palate is slick and a bit cloying.

You know? A nice wheat beer. 12 ounce beer from Glenville beverage. Golden color, nice head that laced afterwards. Smells and tastes citrusy. I didn’t get any of the malts thugh like the description said. I liked it anyway though.

WakeandBake (549) - Greenville, Michigan, USA - SEP 9, 2008
Bottle. Cloudy orange pour, with small white head. Sort of an odd aroma,like apple/orange,maybe some spice,flavor was much the same for me. I sampled this twice,and came up with the same thing each time,just something here I am not liking much,. Arcadia has much better products than this one. Sorry not for me.

bhensonb (7143) - Woodland, California, USA - SEP 7, 2008
Bottle from Vintage Cellar. Hazy amber color with a frothy beige head. It’s got Xmas spice aromas. Near medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is spicy, but it’s got a little dirty graininess. Seems to be some ginger or similar. It gets better with time. Tastes like it came from Belgium. Spice takes over at the finish. Interesting drink. Bet it was a hit in 1850.

timsilvia32 (449) - from Michigan now in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA - AUG 19, 2008
Cloudy gold pour. Some citrus/honey maybe ginger or allspice aromas. Plenty of citrus with some caramel, some other spices not quite sure. Pretty light bodied, with enough hops for a pretty clean finish. I don’t normally care for wheats, but this one is ok. A small step up from the normal bore of a weizen.

Bottle from kmweaver. Thanks Ken! Amber yellow color. Small head of small bubbles. Can’t describe the aroma. Medium aromatics. Kind of smells like apples. A hint of alcohol in the nose. Apple skin bitterness. Medium drinkability. Eh.
