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. Murky honey brown. Small white head. Sweet light fruit and Orange peel dominate taste and scent. very drinkable due to the lack of wheat.

12 oz. bottle from Sudsy’s. Nice orange/light amber color with a foamy, off white head. Spicy and fruity nose, lemon and coriander. Medium fizzy, carbonic body with moderately lacing head. Sweet fruit, apple and pear with a mild sour/funk note. Very dry with just a touch of roasted malt. Spicy notes during dry after. This is interesting. I think it’s good, if this what it’s supposed to be, more like a farmhouse ale than a straight wheat beer. Nonetheless, I like the flavors dancing throughout. I really do hope this is what they were shooting for. Not bad.

20070519 12oz bottle. Clouded golden color with lasting white head and visible eff. It’s a bit funky and weird, but in a good way. Phenolic and yeasty, biscuit dough.

A pleasant Belgian Wit that goes down well in the summer. Nice flavors of orange and a hint of spice balance well with the wheat backbone.

TAP. Appearance: Hazy light amber/dark gold with a very thin skim of white bubbles on the surface. Aroma: Yesty phenols and esters with some faint citrus. Flavor: mild spices & yeasty note dominant, faintly fruity with a citrus note but none of the malty flavors promised by the appearance. Palate: moderate mouthfeel with a crisp finish. Overall: underwhelming wheat that seems a little too phenolic/estery.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy dark golden color with a medium sized off white head. The aroma is light citrus with a bready malt backbone. The flavor is moderately sweet,citrus, earthy hops, a little honey, and wheat. Medium body, nothing too exciting here.

Bottle: Gold yellow in colour with white head. Aroma has honey sweet hints with a little malt. Flavour has mild wheat hints with sweet honey flavour hidden in the background. The body is smooth. The beer is decent and refreshing and maintains good flavour without being complex.

Bottle: Poured a golden yellow/amber with a nice head that disappeared quickly. The aroma was that sweet orange and honey. The flavor was well balance, sweet and light. A favorite of mine in the Wheat Ale category
