Bells Oberon Ale

Sampled on draft, light, refreshing wheat beer. Euro influences all over this Wheat Ale from Bell’s.

bottle - pours hazy golden with lasting white head. not any overpowering tastes - mainly citrusy hops with a slightly bread like finish.

It smells like a lager. It looks like a wheat, but with more haze than I’d expect. It tastes really sweet and fruity and upsets me because when I hear wheat, I expect grassiness, but I’m not getting that. Americans just seem to do wheats poorly. I’ll stick to my German hefeweizens any day.

Bottle courtesy of cmr1517. Pours a cloudy orange with a minimal white head. Nose is faint lemon, grain and wheat. Palate is clean with some orange peel, sweet wheat and a touch grain bitters in the finish. Medium mouth feel. Nice, refreshing beer. Thanks for sharing this Chris!

Cloudy gold body with a tall, pillowy white head which clings to the glass as it dissipates. Aroma is quite yeasty, and a sweet cotton candy character collides continuously. Intense malty flavor, very bread like, and doughy. The palate is quite thick here, making it sticky and not quite refreshing.

A fantasic beer for warmer weather. This beer has a luxurios frothy head, that sticks around. Very smooth, a bit cloudy. Lots of crisp citrusy, but not sweet flavors. No doubt a good hop bitterness is present.

Can’t imagine a wheat ale looking any better...pours a rich murky golden/orange with a huge creamy white head with great staying power. Spicy wheat aroma, sweet. Creamy hot orange wheat flavor. Med/full body for a wheat with light carbonation. O wow... Buchdich is right... the finish does taste like vitamin C, bitter.

i could drink this stuff all day. i have a hard time distinguishing the differences between all the summer ales i have had in the last few days but i remember this one being real good. citrus flavor too is always good
