Commercial Description:
Arcadia introduces the newest addition to its stable of world class British-style ales. Brewed with the legendary Maris Otter Malt from Scotland, this beer is full-bodied and brings a taste of sweet caramel together with a hint of toasted malt that's well balenced with a solid presence of premium American aromatic flower leaf hops. From the package: "Then let us toast John Barleycorn, Each man a glass in hand; And may his great posterity ne'er fail in old Scotland!"

BPW #29 Served on tap at Arcadia Brewing Company. Appearance is a crisp amber color. The aromas and flavors are light and contain some sweet caramel, and heavier doses of pale malts.

Dan’s Bachelor Party Extended Weekend Rating #30 of 90. Tap at Arcadia, shared taster (hands down best taster offering I’ve ever had...a total of 9-3oz pours for $7.99). Pours a bronze/orange. Nice malt backing and decent hop bit. One of the better ’ambers’ I’ve had.

12 ounce bottle from Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, VA. Bottle is notched E3. Pours a hazy ruddy copper color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is caramel, toffee, toasted malts and a light tart fruity note. Taste is bitter hops, tart fruits and caramel. Medium bodied.

Poured into a tall thin Samuel Smith glass. Pour is entirely foam with some beer slowly appearing as the foam subsided. It is a nice golden tan head and is thick and sticky looking. The beer is amber gold with a good amount of carbonation visible. Aroma is bitter sweet malt with some fruit and funk. Flavor is also fruity with significant bitterness. A nice malt profile and, again, that funk. Some spice, as well. Other beers I have had from this brewer do a nice job of making beers that have an old world feel. This one does the same. This is not one I would go to on a regular basis, but it was enjoyable and interesting.

Tap @ brewpub. Amber colour, short white head. Aroma of caramel malts. Flavour is sweet, with caramel and some pilsener malts. Sligthly dry finish.

This beer sucks. It might have been infected, I am not sure. It kind of had a sour taste that led me to believe it was on the verge of being bad. Brown color, white head, smells like malt and trash can, taste is sweet and kind of sour, no hops, light alcohol burn, bleh. I will admit that it was more drinkable when I finished it than it was when I started. Still, not worth drinking.

Way too much head. Seem to always have a problem with this brewery. Not planning on running to the store for more. Would rather have a Point Amber.
