| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Mar 19, 2008 22oz bottle from Liquor Barn, no best-by date - Pours dark ruby with a gushing foamy tan head. Aroma of cherry, sour acids, citrus, and grapefruit. Taste is sour, caramel, citrus hops. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, lightly resinous and soapy with lush carbonation. Infected and not pleasant. Poured at least half down the drain. Check the best by date on these bottles, and if you don’t see one, don’t buy it. I’ve had several infected Arcadia bottles recently. thornecb (1753), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA

Off-white pancake head leaves sheet lacing as it slowly recedes. Mild citrus and resin aromas. Crisp, well-balanced caramel and pine. Sharp finish. More like an American strong. I like the lack of sugar. jimbowood (950), Athens, Georgia, USA
