As I mentioned before, Arcadia Ales of Battle Creek, Michigan focuses on English style ales. This beer however is a wheat ale, which is definitely not indigenous to England. Still, they don’t do a bad job with it.
I thought this looked a bit dark for a wheat beer. It’s a cloudy amber color, but is a darkish amber if that makes any sense. It pours with a very thin white head.
Yes that’s fine, but how does it taste? Well, its sweet with a slight sourness to it. I noticed a slight astringency which made it less smooth and not as easily drinkable as many other wheat beers. There is little to no hop flavor when it’s cold, but a slight hopiness does come out as it warms. Overall, it’s probably a slightly below average wheat beer.
