Bells Oberon Ale

The chief indicator that winter has ended in Michigan is the release of Oberon. Simply put, Michigan’s best summer beer. 18-holes of golf and a 5L can wrapped in an ice blanket is as close to a perfect afternoon as one can imagine. Thank-you Bells. Cheers.

Bottle. Had to retry, First bottle seemed old. Decent wheat beer, with slight citrus notes, would prefer over blue moon and that sort but nothing to write home about especially if you get a not fresh bottle.

hazy gold, medium white head, lacy. mild sweet malt in the nose, hint of hoppiness. malt and fruit in the flavor, quite mild. watery mouth feel, sweet finish. not all that much fun.

Batch 8992 thanks to daknole. Pours with a small white head and a hazed golden sunset body. Aroma is sweet with honey and wheat, some rotten orange, tang and light spice. Taste is pretty bland and basic. Some biscuit and light orange. Candied tangerine peel and cereal. It is light and refreshing, but not exciting. Light, watery.

This beer has been hyped up to be so good and such a summer brew and I just didnt see it or atleast taste it. People told me this beer is great with tacos, great with italian food, mix in margerhitas and vise versa so on and so on yada yada etc. Mumbo jumbo! May I say not a bad brew and good with all those things and foods but so is any other beer.

A hazy yellowish orange pour with a small white head that dissipates quickly. Has a slightly fruity wheat aroma. The taste is smooth and sweet with some citrus hop mixed in and a very short finish.

A good beer as far as wheats go. Good flavor a little thin this year (2009). Older batches where better.

12 oz bottle from Casanova. Orange pour with a foamy white head. Spicy wheat aroma, citrus notes as well. Sweet tangy flavor, with some of the spice coming through. Nice smooth finish.
