Pours an eggshell white head with lace and a hazy golden body with particulates. Smells of a little zest, spice, and clean. Flavor is clean with zest, grass, and some spice. Clean finish.

Bottle. Smells spicy, banana and wheat. Creamsicle color, opaque light orange brew. This beer has a creamy mouthfeel, and a light hop finish. Fizzy carbonation, very refreshing, light, slightly citrusy with spice and fruit notes. I like this beer.

Golden color with an amber hue and a thin white head. Slightly sweet aroma with hints of grains and citrus. Rich malty body with flavors of caramel and wheat. Delicious and refreshing. I could see drinking a few more.

Bell’s Oberon Ale is a clear, bright golden ale with a thin white head that fades to a film and leaves nice lacing. It has a spicy hop aroma; floral, resiny and a touch sweet. Nice. A note of honey lingers in the nose. It has a creamy, chewy medium body and a dry, slightly acidic finish. It’s a crisp and bitter flavor, like citrus tea with a biscuity backbone. It’s a bold and proper use of wheat.

Bottle thanks to daknole. Thanks! Batch 9100. Pours a hazy gold with a medium white head that fades quickly. Grainy and somewhat unpleasant aromas… must be the Saaz. Sweet and wheaty, light honey flavors. Finishes with a light bitterness, and a bit of cardboard. Rather unpleasant, and a big disappointment for a Bell’s brew. At less than two months, I can’t figure that it’s old, just not so good.
