Simpely the best summer beer brewed in Michigan at this moment, to bad it’s all gone till next spring. I still have a couple bottles to get me thru. Had it at the brewery in June and the hops,color,aroma and finish blew me away!!

A very nice drinkable wheat beer. Solid.

Here in Michigan, we are blessed with two fine summer beers. Bell’s Oberon and Arcadia’s Whitsun. This beer is flat out, good. There is a light citrus taste with malt sweetness to it. It is unlike any wheat I’ve had before. There are hops, but they are there for balance, not for show. A very easy to drink beer and due to that I am giving it a ’5’ in the ’Mouthfeel’ category as it just feels and tastes right. While Oberon is one of my all-time favorites and a great summer beer, I can honestly say Whitsun ranks right up there. A great summer beer.

One of the first really warm and sunny days this spring in Michigan make me reach for the Whitsun. Whitsun is gold to copper in color and hazy. Peaches and wheat aromas are present along with a faint honey sweetness. Honey wheat and a light citrusy sweet taste. This one goes down so easy, it is very refreshing and highly drinakable. Low carbonation with a medium body. A great seasonal that I love to enjoy with some barbecued chicken in the summer.

One of the better summer wheats I’ve had. Orange amber pour. Fruity wheat nose and taste. Rated 8/31/08

I like this beer a lot. Granted it’s rather strange, with the richer honey and butter flavours filling out a nice spare wheat profile.

Great Summer beer, Definate orage peel, In my opinon a great Michigan wheat, not a clone of a german rather original. Bravo

As a seasonal beer, this varies year to year. I generally enjoy this beer, it has a nice wheat flavor. Other reviewers have commented on a butterscotch flavor, but they seemed to have toned that downa bit this year (or maybe just this batch). I thought it was a much smoother summer beer than Oberon this year, and much more to my liking all said and done.
