Commercial Description:
Arcadia Whitsun is a modern interpretation of a mid-19th century English spring and summer festival ale. It is light golden in color with a rich, creamy head, full bodied and has a lightly toasted caramel flavor. The addition of Michigan star thistle honey contributes a uniquely smooth drinkability to this unfiltered wheat ale.

tiny head on a hazy light amber body. citrusy spicy and hoppy nose, and a surprisingly hoppy flavor for an american wheat. yeasty and malty too, but not much complexity, and a clean short finish. nothing too special but definitely drinkable!

Poured clear amber with a weak white head. Grapefruit in the nose. Some carbonation in its watery body. Decent but unremarkable flavor. Some at the tasting put it on a par with or superior to Bells Oberon. I do not agree. Bells is much better.

Fairly nice wheat ale with a sweet and yeasty aroma. Flavor is light and a bit vague. Surprisingly, the head retention is poor. If i lived in Battle Creek, i could be happy with Arcadia.

Light gold with a slight orange influence in the color. Creamy white head and nice lacing. The aroma contains a sweet malt smell that hints of a rich taste. The flavor was somewhat tangy with a little bit of bitterness.

Light golden, fizzy white head. Fruity and candyish nose, somewhat plasticky with a light hint of citrusy hops. Spritzy and lightly tart at the front. A little bit of sweetness in the middle with hints of roasty hops. A slight tartness in the finish, somewhat sharp and a light citrus tang. I don't think the freshest example. Better than the average american wheat, but thats not saying much. A wheat for a winter seasonal? Weird.

Great wheat beer for a microbrew. Comparable to Bell's Oberon yet less hoppy with better smoother flavor. A little sweetness, with a light bitter aftertaste.
