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.

[tap @ Capones, 6/14/08]
Reading the commercial description and comparing what I got are two different things. On tap it poured a rich, orange red color with a slightly off white head. Aroma was tart and citrusy with strong notes of orange peel. Medium flavor body with noticeable flavors of orange peel and some very trace honey flavors. Crisp hop finish. No real wheat qualities that I could detect.

12 oz bottle purchased at Lukas Liquors in Kansas City, MO. "A 5" stamped on bottle. Pour is slight haze golden, big 4 inch crackling white head. Head looks like soap bubbles and falls pretty fast with no lacing. Aroma of sweet floral wheat. A bit overly sweet for a wit. Taste is soapy sweet, some floral, some grassy spiciness. Wheat is in there too, but behind the sweet and spice. Palate is slick and a bit cloying.

You know? A nice wheat beer. 12 ounce beer from Glenville beverage. Golden color, nice head that laced afterwards. Smells and tastes citrusy. I didn’t get any of the malts thugh like the description said. I liked it anyway though.

12 oz bottle. Beautiful hazy golden yellow in color. Aroma of citrus and toffee. Taste is caramel, apricots and some spice. Medium body with sweet finish. The finish is fairly clean and crisp.

Bottle. Cloudy orange pour, with small white head. Sort of an odd aroma,like apple/orange,maybe some spice,flavor was much the same for me. I sampled this twice,and came up with the same thing each time,just something here I am not liking much,. Arcadia has much better products than this one. Sorry not for me.
