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.

clear golden amber with no real head... very bland aroma, not spicy at all, a little pepper... very slight amount of pepper in the flavor, not much going on, not offensive at all, the flavor is good, just very very subdued, i dont believe this is 6.2%.. medium light body...

(Draught at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 7 Aug 2010) Pale amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, slightly malty nose with notes of apricots, orange and a touch of ginger. Fruity taste with orange, apricots, papaya, a touch of wheaty sweetness and a fairly mild floral bitterness in the finish. Slightly more than medium body, a bit sweet. Tasty and well balanced. Nice one.

Pawola22 (1993) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - SEP 3, 2010
12oz bottle. Pours a cloudy orange-amber colored body with a finger-width, frothy, off-white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is sweet wheats with a good amount of lemon, grapefruit, and orange. Just a touch of caramel and grainy malt sweetness. Flavor is similar. Lots of citric fruit up front with some sweet wheat, a light caramel, and other citrus fruits. Finishes dry with some wheat and lots of citrus fruits with a medium length aftertaste. Light-medium body and carbonation. Overall, a pretty nice wheat ale. Lots of citrusy flavors with a pleasant wheat sweetness. Not bad.

Smooth pour with a smallish head. Aroma is very light. If you are looking for a nice example of this style, this one is for you. In short, good not great.

Pours darker than expected... amber in color. Herbal cilantro aroma. Kind of a sweet malt toffee flavor with a slight clean bitter citrus aftertaste. Overall, its easy to drink... no complaints.
