Middle of the road here...nice session brew but nothing to write home about. Hazy tangerine with small lemon yellow head. The aroma is mild citrus, wheat, and spice. Flavor is honey-nut Cheerios and a squeeze of orange. Refreshing and light.

Smooth and easy, fairly modest but not something that’ll make you say wowee wow or anything.

From a bottle purchased in Raleigh, NC (Thanks, Margaret!)--Poured a bright, hazy golden-orange with a creamy white head. Wheaten nose with evidence of spicy hops. Nice mixture of American and Czech style wheat beer. Mildly tart and astringent, but mostly fruity and spicy. Finished with a big wheat presence. Pretty good.

Pours a medium gold with a large white foamy head and heavy sediment. Very light wheat and lemon aroma with a hint of grassy hop. Somewhat subtle aroma. Flavour is nice orange-citrus and grain that isn’t overpowering. Some clingy bitterness in the finish. Hoppier than a lot of wheat beers. Nice though.

I tell the Bud Light Drinkers of the World that Oberon can only be likened to Blue Moon on CRACK. Best tasty summer beer I can get in Michigan.

Draft at Cole’s in Buffalo. Pours gold with a thin white head. Light aroma with wheat and trace hops. Medium body. Flavor has a light malt profile with caramel and wheat accompanied by a solid grassy/floral note. Very refreshing and drinkable.
