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 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.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear, golden-orange color; thin off-white head with medium-bubbled lacing. Lots of sugar, overripe citrus, and orange fruitiness in the aroma; a touch tart and a touch sticky. Medium mouthfeel: lively carbonation; lots of candy sugar, basic honeyed sweetness, oranges and a bit of wheat upfront; decent presence in the mouth; but, overall, an orange-infused, highly carbonated, sugary, slightly-tart, overripe, light wheat beer. Kind of an odd bird. Medium finish: lots of toasted malts, breadiness, and some oranges.

12 oz bottle poured light orange color with very little head. Orange and lemon flavors with a little bit of hop bitterness. Little to no honey flavor. Decent lawnmower beer.

Pours a light caramel color with some gleaming bubbles and a nice medium creamy off-white head. Lots of caramel in the aroma a la pyramid amber-weizen. Nice flavor Caramel and wheat malts... sweet and spicy, much better than the amber-weizen. Medium body, fuller mouthful, with nice but subtle carbonation. A wheat ale for ale drinkers.

Pours a slightly hazed amber with a small off white head. Aroma is medium sweet, toffee, light orange and spice. Flavor is toffee, earthy, orange, light lemon and very strong coriander. Medium body, thin texture.

Appearance- pours pretty cloudy copper with a thin head that disappeared very quickly. smell- very pleasant smell! It smells more spicy rather than fruity though--not what I was expecting. taste- A pretty good wheat: I can taste the hint of fruitiness and some sort of the spiciness that I could smell. mouthfeel/drinkability- Feels pretty bubbly and can sense the spice before swallowing. Goes down smooth. Not bad at all.
