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.

hopscotch (7522) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - JAN 26, 2003
Super Bowl beer! Not much time to talk, but... The nose holds grapefruit and lime. The color is a murky peach. Malty, fuzzy and citrus fruit and honey flavors. Medium to full-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, lightly sweet, lightly pungent finish with clover honey at the wee end. Very nice wheat beer!

Bottle. Cloudy golden amber with small white head. Aroma of citrus and toffee. Medium body with sweet finish. Flavor was full with citrus and wheat sweet. Good American Wheat.

hopdog (7037) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 3, 2006
12oz bottle shared courtesy of DenverLogan (who mentioned this bottle may have been ~2 years old). Poured a medium golden color with a larger sized white head. Aromas of orange peels, yeast, and lemony. Tastes of some wheat, oranges, and light spices. Tastes were on the sweeter side. Lively body.

JoeMcPhee (6961) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 14, 2007
Tap at Barcade. Deep amber beer. Lovely wheaty aroma with a softly toasted maltiness as well. Light munichy sweetness with a bit of lemony citrus as well. Flavour is fairly bready, with a nice sweet toasted malt character and a faintly minerally bitterness. Fairly herbal/floral hop flavour with a lingering wheaty spiciness. A hint of apple on the back. Nice character for an American wheat.

CaptainCougar (6833) - Columbia, Maryland, USA - AUG 13, 2003
Lightly cloudy golden with a thick white head. Aroma is a light mixture of malt and hops with little noticeable spice. Body follows suit. Mellow, semi-sweet and smooth with a spinkling of citrus. A bland and uninteresting wheat beer.

3fourths (6385) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - AUG 23, 2006
UPDATED: AUG 24, 2006 Bottle. Very cloudy yellow and orange with a clinging tan and white head. Very spicy yeast flavor, peppery and sweet on the tongue. Flavor is peppery with a decent wheat sourness throughout the drink. Mildly tart, estery, with some banana and wheat and peach rind in the flavors. Very lively and bubbly on the tongue. Good stuff, a proper wit in my opinion.

Sammy (6113) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 20, 2005
aggressively carbonated main drawback offset by very peachy aroma and some peach in taste. Orange appearance. Made worth trying by single bottle allotment at WIld Oats in Cleveland. Malt, yeast and wheat there. More hops please.

DocLock (5966) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 17, 2006
Pours ruddy dark straw/amber colored with little head. The aroma is biscuity malt, some hopcitrus, and some fruit. The flavor is malty, citric, amd has floral spicy notes, plus some tangerine. Medium palate. Not bad.

jerc (5580) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 24, 2006
Michigan Brewers Festival 2006. Golden yellow. Light wheaty hop aroma. Very light bitterness and mild malt flavour. Average palate. A summer quaff, fairly light and simplistic but not unpleasant.

Rciesla (5499) - Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA - MAY 4, 2008
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.
