| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Apr 26, 2004 tiny head on a hazy light amber body. citrusy spicy and hoppy nose, and a surprisingly hoppy flavor for an american wheat. yeasty and malty too, but not much complexity, and a clean short finish. nothing too special but definitely drinkable!

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 19, 2004 Poured clear amber with a weak white head. Grapefruit in the nose. Some carbonation in its watery body. Decent but unremarkable flavor. Some at the tasting put it on a par with or superior to Bells Oberon. I do not agree. Bells is much better.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 15, 2004 Fairly nice wheat ale with a sweet and yeasty aroma. Flavor is light and a bit vague. Surprisingly, the head retention is poor. If i lived in Battle Creek, i could be happy with Arcadia. atpayne (615), Zionsville, Indiana, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 3, 2004 Light gold with a slight orange influence in the color. Creamy white head and nice lacing. The aroma contains a sweet malt smell that hints of a rich taste. The flavor was somewhat tangy with a little bit of bitterness. YnotABeer (96), Missouri, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 18, 2003 best wheat of the year. smooth and really nice taste; not much head though. quite yeasty, not too hopppy; just great. daboskabouter (1470), Fergus, Ontario, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 25, 2003 Light golden, fizzy white head. Fruity and candyish nose, somewhat plasticky with a light hint of citrusy hops. Spritzy and lightly tart at the front. A little bit of sweetness in the middle with hints of roasty hops. A slight tartness in the finish, somewhat sharp and a light citrus tang. I don't think the freshest example. Better than the average american wheat, but thats not saying much. A wheat for a winter seasonal? Weird. thehoff (569), Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 6, 2003 Great wheat beer for a microbrew. Comparable to Bell's Oberon yet less hoppy with better smoother flavor. A little sweetness, with a light bitter aftertaste. hotstuff (3175), Indiana, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Sep 2, 2003 This beer when poured formed a small sized tan head with fine-large sized bubbles that quickly dissipated.The body of this beer was very dense, carbonated and yeast was observed at the bottom of my glass.The hue reminded me of the hue of iced tea.The nose was light malts and hops and the flavor was tangy, tart and sweet.The mouthfeel was tingly, thin, watery and light bodied.This beer had no lacing.
