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.

Lacy off white head. Light, airy, grapefruit, bit o’ spice nose. Orange, lemon flavors -- really subtle, delicate. More of a Belgian wit. Some hops, but no noticable caramel, malt, or wheat flavors.

Bottle: Aroma is rather sweet with lots of wheat, spices, and light citrus. Pours a very cloudy dark orange with a white head that diminishes somewhat quickly. Sweet up front with light honey and citrus and a pretty big spicey finish.

(I suspect this is an old bottle, but there is no date on it) Small off white head atop hazed amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, toffee, light orange. Taste is moderately sweet, toffee, some earthy, orange, light lemon. Medium body, some acidity. Not bad, but certainly not what I was expecting from an American Wheat.

super orangey with hints of lemon and yeast in the aroma, hazy gold, nice wheaty body with slight yeastiness and lots of orange flavors

Ok, so I’ve been on a wheat kick as of late. This is a nice one, not as flavorful as I’ve had recently, but still damn good.

My first rating of a beer drunk from my new snifter... Orange with nearly no head. Immediately following the pour there are hints of banana and cloves; after sitting, there is mostly citrus and wheat. Flavor is sugary sweet, quite wheaty, with a lightly bitter finish. A bit syrupy.

SLight citrus aroma, good citrus flavor throughout. Ever so slight bite at the end. Quite an enjoyable wheat.

Rust colored with standing, skinny head. Good sweet lightly fruity aroma. Sweet malt, medium roasty flavors, even finish.
