Arcadia Whitsun

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

A light amber colored beer with a very small head that was a few shades lighter than the beer. Sweet and fruity describes the nose. Nectarine is the first thing tasted and it is bitter sweet. Wheat flavors seep in late and never come close to matching the fruit. There is little effervescence but some spiciness tingles the tongue just a bit. It finishes with a spicy flourish

12oz bottle 5/9/09 (Binny’s Plainfield)-Pours a goldenish amber with a small covering for a head. Aroma of citrus, caramel, wheat, and orange. Taste of orange, wheat, malt, caramel, honey, and slight hops. This light bodied brew is the first one from Arcadia that actually came across as somewhat fresh. Not bad and quite drinkable.

Tap @ brewpub. Aroma has citrus and wheat. Flavour is sweet, with wheat, caramel and some fruits. Good drinkable.

12 oz bottle poured into a snifter. Murky caramel color with small off-white head. Aroma is predominantly apples, with some sweet malt, wheat, and light citrus. Taste of sweet and tart apples. Medium mouthfeel with light crisp carbonation. Quenching, not bad.

On tap at Ashley’s in Ann Arbor. Flavors dominated by honeycomb and orange peel. Golden orange color. Ok overall.

Dead grass color with a nice head, smelled of wheat and lemon. The flavor was tangy or citrus, some banana, lots of apple that was kind of off putting in that it was the dominate flavor. Malty body with a clean aftertaste.

Interesting wheaty taste. Not particular but there is good note here. Nice hazy look with thin head.

Bottle. Pours a golden color with a big white head. Some lacing on the side of the glass. Lots of carbonation. Aroma is wheat, earthy grains, and grass. Taste is lemon zest and other natural flavors. Decent beer.
