Arcadia Whitsun

Brewed by Arcadia Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Battle Creek, Michigan USA

Lightly lazy peach/gold color with a vigorously thick head that dissipates slowly. This actually began overflowing the bottle as soon as I opened it. Thin wisps of lacing. The aroma is mildly malty with a bit of floral hops and fruit. Light-bodied with citrusy hops and wheat flavors. The finish is crisp and fruity with a yeast/wheat aftertaste. Light and straightforward, it’s a decent summer brew.

Bottle: Light orange color, small white head. This really reminded me of the banana flavored Runts candy. Especially in the flavor. On top of that there was quite a bit of warming. This was decent, and I probably wouldn’t have tried it had it not been for a random purchase by a friend.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured an apricot color with only a trace of a white head. The aroma is tangy citrus. The flavor is tangy, sour and has a strong citrus note. The beer is rather heavily carbonated. There is a strong alcohol burn which is surprising given the actual alcohol content.

12 oz. Pours a hazy orange with a very small white head. Smells of light spice, wheat, and fruit. Taste is slighty phenolic, wheat, and spicy. Smooth.

i was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of this wheat beer. one of the better tasting wheat beers i’ve had, and one of arcadia’s finest.

Pour is a golden orange color with white, frothy head. Slight citrus smell, maybe some corriander(?)This one tastes more like a belgian then an american wheat to me. Average citrus flavour, but way later then you’re typical wheat. This beer is decent but nothing to write home about.

22oz draft at Gallaghers in Kalamazoo. Pours a hazy red orange color with a big foamy white head. nose is light citrus, wheat, some biscuity notes. Flavors of more orange citrus and some light yeasty and wheat notes. Palate is silky and kinda chewy.

12 oz. Bottle purchased from The Warehouse - Duluth, MN We’ve got a gusher! Pour of deeply murky orange rind; a great color, with a deep hue and golden fringes. Lots of tall soapy ivory banana head. But, the gushing causes it to loose a point. Slightly ascerbic aroma of lemon and candid yeasts. Sweetness is stunning and lucious on the nose. Flavor is a delicious sweet deep wheat, with an edge of cream, light toffe and a note of almonds. A truly silky and quenching elixir. Many blasts of lemon. Alcohol noses the tounge a little. A real strong richness and body to the beer, yet maintaing a fantastic smoothness. Finishes with a rounding and completing dusting of dry grassy hops for a complete experienc. Great stuff!
