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.

Bottle drank in the warm winter in January in New York City, watchin Ohio State roll inthe BCS. Anyway, small head with a peppery and caramel taste. I don’t see how it’s a summer beer at all.

From the bottle. I liked this one slightly more than Mrs. Prosqtor, who proclaimed it not wheaty enough. Cidery-sweet flavor and yet smooth and drinkable. A nice balance to the IPAs, ESBs, and EPAs I drank two nights ago!

Probiere (992) - Iowa, USA - JAN 1, 2008
Extremely mild and nondescript, light floral notes with possibly some corrianderbut more likely an herbal hop note. Slightly sweet, large fizzy disappearing head, and watery finish.

Poured a decent head that disapated quickly. Golden in color. Aroma of wheat and honey. The flavor had some spices added to the wheat and honey with a slightly bitter/ale ending.

vegetable taste and WHEAT body THAT I USUALLY and simply cannot stand but oddly enough i find it acceptable and then some with this beer. probably because it is recessed a bit and accompanied by a perfectly matched sweetness and body. for that i add several points. surely many of us have imbibed in the brewmasters results that were unable to achieve this result. the beer is strangley appealing and classic - not unlike the mona lisa-. when ingesting -just one drop- you will notice quite an appealing hop character with an interesting body . no doubt THIS is a very well balanced beer. this is result of a discerning beer lover or just plain luck.

bottle from hopdog. light yellow copper with a small white head. kinda clean looking?? aroma is orange, wheat and black pepper spiciness. flavor is the same with sweet metallic maltiness, light yeast and some hot spices. medium bodied. lacks character...

drfabulous (2140) - Lexington, Kentucky, USA - OCT 25, 2007
Very fruity. Odd tasting wheat. Bit of after taste. I’ve gone from loving Arcadia to getting skunk beers (Hopmouth) and then being uninspired. This beer is pushed too much around here. A very mediocre wheat.

UPDATED: FEB 2, 2008 Bottle - Orange amber color, thick white head, little lacing. Has a flavor of citrus and honey. This is a good midwest wheat beer, possibly better then Bells Oberon, however much harder to find on tap outside of the brewery.
