Bells Oberon Ale

12 oz. bottle at Flat Rock Saloon. Poured hazy gold/orange with scant head. Bready nose. Spicy, yeasty with some slight esters noticeable. A good summer beer.

Ok, I could some this beer up in two words "Blue Moon", but I will say a little more....Aroma is very faint mix of oranges and wheat. Appearance is a cloudy orange (..yes like blue moon!). The beer is very light on the palate and doesn’t leave much taste. An ok chug-able beer. Not much else going on with it. Nice white lacing.

Bottle from Whole Foods in Charlottesville. I tried this first last year and was underwhelmed. I’ve heard this year’s batch is better. We’ll see. I’m not a fan of the aroma, which is a slight yeastiness, bubblegum and cardboard. Small but persistent head and excellent lacing. Hazy peach in appearance. Fruity taste nicely balanced with the hops. Good taste.

A tasting at Three Cellars Milwaukee. An excellent Wheat with a slight fruit hint.

At Three Cellars tasting Bell’s Brewery night. Pale cloudy yellow with a medium wheaty aroma to go with a light citrus aroma. Tastes of wheat and mild fruit, somewhat spicy. Pretty good for a wheat beer.

Lots of carbonation, medium head. Smells like a budweiser and is cloudy. Didn’t taste very fruity at all. Maybe a slight banana taste.

Its an OK beer. It has way to much buzz for what it is. Very drinkable but not outstanding.

this is the symbolic beginning of summer in a pint glass here in michigan. smooth and creamy, nice white head. hazy straw/orange in color. flavor is a little citrusy, milky, very mild spice in the back. very drinkable, perfect for a day at the beach, if it wasn’t 29 degrees outside.
