Arcadia India Pale Ale

Brewed by Arcadia Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Battle Creek, Michigan USA

Light golden with a large cloudy white head. Aroma is fairly string, citrus hops aroma, and a little bit harsh. Moderate citric hop bitterness which is fairly crisp and mostly clean. Not extrodinary, just a normal IPA. Finish is hoppy and astringent, small to medium body.

Thanks to Jsquire for this. Huge off white peaks of merengue top this medium amber beer. Soft pine aroma. The flavor stays towards the bitter side from start to finish yet never becomes assertive or overpowering. A possible dissappointment for hop heads will be a perfect IPA for some. Light, some would say thin, body with a dry finish.

If you think IPA’s are too hoppy and too high in alcohol then this is your ideal IPA. Muted, but still pretty flavorful.

A decent and servicable IPA. Mediumd bodied with a medium malt backbone as well. Aroma is of floral and citrus hopps. Flavor is somewhat carmel in flavor ffollowed by nice citrus hopps. A decent IPA especially at the lower ABV level.

Orange-like brown with a white foamy head. Aroma was somewhat fruit-like and reminiscent of the more citrus-like fruits such as grapefruits or oranges, but I could also detect hints of pine, malts, and floral. Very smooth and well-balanced and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I could initially taste the fruity overtones to the brew, but then the malts dominated and gave it an overall taste which made me think of caramel. It was a sweet brew in many ways, but it finished with a nice slightly bitter kick. I’d say the body was medium to light and very smooth.

Lovely orange-ish color, with criss-crossing, highly active bubbles rishing up and hitting the capper, a sureslab of fluffy, creamy white foam. Nice, nice. Nose instantly hints at grapefruit, orange, lime, ...a bit candy-ish, actually, with a wicked, bitter kick...and grapefruit rings loudest, and bitterest... Taste: easy, smooth, lightly bitter, those same fruity sensations from the aroma kicking it on the tongue...a very English style IPA, sterling in that regard, coppery, none too bitter, brisk, and quite refreshing. Flavor floods the senses for a while, but does not devastate, merely washes the giddy ride along the tongue and mouth. Really reminds me of hometown favorite, Summit IPA, which was the first beer I really fell in love with, although now, my passion turns to American, West Coast styles, rather than these English types. Still, it’s this that ignited the passion, way back when. It’s still a damned tasty turn at the brew. Malt is big and rich enough, a caramel character carries through...with fruity rind dripping over...very nice ale, I applaud Arcadia for it.

Pine and floral aroma...somewhat sedated. The flavor was mildly toasted caramel malt nicely balanced by the mildly bitter hop notes...maybe that was the problem...everything was mild, too mild for the style, or my liking anyway. Decent but hard to get excited about.

A florally taste, quite vibrant/hoppy. Came in a 12 pack sampler. Not bad at all.
