bottle. pours an unfiltered deep golden with a nice white head. pleasant citrus and spicy aroma. spice up front with big wheat malts over the top. nice bitter finish for a wheat ale... the Saaz hops are really pronounced here... plenty of citrus / lemon notes throughout. Bells delivers the best beer for Summer.... Oberon is something I will buy every year.

Pours out a cloudy straw/light golden color with a small one finger white head. Aroma is of some grassy yeasty notes, but none too strong. Taste is straight forward but very well done. Yeast, citrus some spice and a little bitterness going on in the background, dangerously drinkable.

12oz bottle served in a weizen glass. Pour is cloudy gold with a thin head, large chunks of sediment float lazily around in the liquid. Smells very citrusy as well as some yeasty esters. Taste is malty sweet, not really much else going on. With the Bell’s label on it i expected some crazy uber-crafted weizen bursting with flavor. It is crisp and clean but a bit of a let down.

Wow. I was recommended this tasty brew from a worker at Grape & Gourmet and I was not disappointed at all. The aroma was very nice, slightly cloudy golden color and a nice crisp and refreshing taste that finished very clean. I really enjoyed this beer and look forward to many more!

Darn good wheat ale. It taste’s good to begin with, but it gets better and better as your taste buds adjust. Don’t miss it. On tap from Guido’s in downtown Mobile.

Draft, Baja Bean, Staunton VA. Medium amber with white head, certainly dark for a wheat or "hefe" style; served with lemon wedge. Aromas of mildly spicy grassy hops and medium caramel malts. Flavor is slightly tangy light malt with a pleasant bitterness underneath, lemon from the wedge of course. All in all lacking in depth and character-- an easy drinker, but only that.

Friends in DC= many *bottles* of Bells for this New Englander. Pours a dull, clear straw yellow with some noticeable bubbles. Chunky off white head that clears pretty quick, leaving a decent ring. Aroma isn’t too promising... dank, grainy vegetal smell. Flavor improves- some light but distinct spicy bitterness, lively tart fruit notes, and a pleasant grainy malt backbone. Full on the palate, with some more body than many wheat beers. Crisp finish.
