Bells Oberon Ale

Brewed by Bells Brewery
Style: Wheat Ale
Kalamazoo, Michigan USA

12oz bottle 4/17/09-Pours a cloudy yellowish orange with a nice white head. Aroma of wheat, citrus, and some malt. Taste is of the same with some lemon coming in along with some spices. This light bodied brew was fairly tasty.

Pours light golden and hazy with a thin foamy white head.Aroma of corn, light toasted grains, and mild fruity esters. Taste is light graininess with wheat and some apparent adjuncts, although I doubt if this beer actually contains corn, it sure does smell and taste like it. A very mild citrusy/fruity note is also noticable, but not dominant. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with lively carbonation. Really not as bad as most American Wheat beers, but this still isn’t very appealing, please try again.

From a 12oz. long neck brown bottle with a short blurb about the wheat ale and a batch number, 7259, packaged on 02/20/06, on the back label. Made a good appearance, poured a cloudy orange hued golden with a nice foamy white head that slowly settled into a semi-sticky, thin foamy lacing, good carbonation. Had a wheat malty and spicy, floral hop nose with the Bell’s house strain yeastiness. A crisp, smooth medium bodied mouth feel, good drinkability. Delicious tasting, wheat, slightly fruity, maltiness, a sharp hop bite from the spicy camomile-like Saaz hops, a little alcohol warmth in the palate and a crisp, spicy, malty finish. One of favorite seasonals from Bell’s, a really tasty pale wheat ale.

An intersting cloudy yellow color; Thick to medium head with large buubles; Nose is nothing but YEAST. I can’t put my finger on this one but I really like it. Nice spiciness reminecent of a saison. Very bready as well. Wonderful mouthfeel- almost grainy. Thanks Proc for a new favorite.

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.

Hazy orangish amber color with a pretty substantial frothy white head. Aromas are of light citrus, yeast, grass and wheat malt. Flavor is heavy of wheat/yeast/grass with a orange/lemon citrus bite that lies just under the surface. Finishes a bit spicey and blends nicely with grain and citrus. Very nice wheat with a bit more character than most.

Bottle courtesy of adrian910ss. Pours a cloudy light orange with a ring of white head. Aroma of citrus, light fruits, wheat, orange, melon rind. Flavor of wheat, light fruits. Doesn’t taste as good as it smells, but it’s pretty good nonetheless. Good wheat beer, although a little boring.

Pours a murky light orange with an off-white head. Aroma is a slightly musky sweetness with mild orange peel and spice cant. Nice mild effervescence to the palate. Sweet and mildly spicy start, light Belgian yeast finish. Not overly sweet or overbearing.
