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.

vegetable taste and WHEAT body THAT I USUALLY and simply cannot stand but oddly enough i find it acceptable and then some with this beer. probably because it is recessed a bit and accompanied by a perfectly matched sweetness and body. for that i add several points. surely many of us have imbibed in the brewmasters results that were unable to achieve this result. the beer is strangley appealing and classic - not unlike the mona lisa-. when ingesting -just one drop- you will notice quite an appealing hop character with an interesting body . no doubt THIS is a very well balanced beer. this is result of a discerning beer lover or just plain luck.

Cloudy gold pour. Some citrus/honey maybe ginger or allspice aromas. Plenty of citrus with some caramel, some other spices not quite sure. Pretty light bodied, with enough hops for a pretty clean finish. I don’t normally care for wheats, but this one is ok. A small step up from the normal bore of a weizen.

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.

From the tap poured an amber color with a good amount of head. Nice smooth citrus flavor, very drinkable.
