Best before May.

Pours out a hazy golden straw and sits a foggy golden amber in the glass. Came equipped with a monstrous creamy, slightly off-white head that took up half the glass, this is from a slow and gentle pour. I don't know if I should say this is good or bad. Couldn't fit the 12 ounces into my 20 oz glass. Needless to say, my glass became coated in white strands of lace.

Aroma is nice and fruity with soft hints of oranges, pears and nectarines. Sugary dough-like breadiness. Tea-like aromatcs, with some green, leafy notes.

Tastes lighly sweet up front, with hints of apples, pear and dry, dusty orange peel. Some mild caramel flavor. Green, grassy hop flavors are balanced and relatively uninteresting. Finishes with good bitterness, lingering dusty fruit flavors and some yeasty splotchings in the back.

Crisp in the mouth with highly active carbonation working to fill you up with gas. Medium-light in body and moderately refreshing.

Not bad, just weird. Acts like a Trappist ale, but has the heart of a pale ale. Needs work, IMO.

Served on-tap in a 20oz glass at Buffalo Wild Wings. $4.75 during their Happy Hour. Not bad.

Appearance: Not bad at all. Has a typical pale ale color with a nice two/three finger head. Lacing lasts until the end of the glass. Above average.

Smell: Average. Smells like a pale ale with a nice, slightly spicy note with the malts and hops. Pleasant.

Taste/feel: I was expecting a rating of about 84 for this beer, but was surprised at the 76. This is my first beer from Arcadia, and I like it a lot. Being a pale ale, it's not the most exciting beer in the world, but it's insanely drinkable, has a very nice mouth feel, and the finish is clean. A refreshing English Pale Ale that I'd love to have again. One of the best that I've had of the style. Seems that I'm the minority, as a lot of people don't care for it that much. Maybe I got a fresh keg? I dig it.

Serving type: on-tap
