Bells Oberon Ale

12 oz. bottle. Hazy, bright gold color with a foamy, white head. Grapefruit, lemon, yeast, a touch of bread, and a sweetness I can’t quite place in the nose. The grapefruit makes a return on the palate along with a light malt sweetness, a little hops, honey, wheat, citrus pith and what I thought to be a touch of salt. Medium-high carbonation with a slightly prickly then smooth mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a slight dryness. Short finish with just a little malt and bitterness sticking to the tongue. Overall a great summertime quaff. Light enough to be sessionable but full enough to be satisfying.

Pours hazy straw color. Aroma is coriander and yeast. I think this has a medium mouthfeel that if consumed slowly is not very desirable. When compared to Boulevard Wheat, Goose Island 312, and New Belgium Sunshine Wheat it is much better. Not a beer that I could drink a lot of though because of the mouthfeel.

Bottle from theisti. Clean smelling, not much going on in the nose. Crisp wheaty taste, little banana and a pleasant spicy finish. Easy summer drinker. Thanks, Tim.

Smells great, excellent head. I sense a little fruit coming through. Very easy to drink.

Aroma is strong, malty, yeasty, very inviting. It pours a clear straw-yellow - not inspiring, but at least the white head is nice and thick and hangs around for a bit. Flavor is fairly strong and refreshing, if not complex - malty with a wheaty undertone and a touch of fruit. Texture is smooth and just a little fizzy.

Pours a hazy straw yellow colour. Aroma of spices, yeast, citrus, and bananas. Flavour is of wheat, fruits, spices, and malt with a watery bitter finish. Day old so may have to re-rate.

On tap at the Happy Gnome. Pours hazy yellow with a decent white head. Smells like spices and bread. Taste and finish are a little fruity.

Bottle. Hazy straw yellow color with some soapy carbonation. Aroma is malty banana and spices. Flavor is creamy malts, orange and finished a little bitter.
