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.

Pour is a beautiful orange with a foamy white head that quickly dissapears. Appealing aroma and a great flavor. One of my favorite wheats, easily.

Color poured a super pale, hazy light yellow, and had a very tight leveled out type of lacing just above the white head. Smells of zesty lemon and some spice, very clean and crispy. Taste is much like Belgian witbeir, very spritzy, lemon is sharply toned with a spicyness mixed in that blended well. It's mostly lemony then anything, imagine a Sprite or 7up with three times the lemon and add some wheat and yeast and wham-o, you've got this Oberon. I've had it in the bottle before, but on tap is so much more yeasty fresh then from the bottle. Super drinkable and highly recommended for quenching thirst on warm to hot days in summer.

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.

Had this beer on draught. Visually this is a most unique beer. It is by far the cloudiest beer this beer drinker has ever encountered. Made for a great presentation. Also drank quite well. Great flavor and aroma made for a truly pleasant drinking experience.

Tap at Oberon release party in Cbus. Very well balanced and drinkable. Not my preferred style of beer but I enjoyed it very much. Can see why this is their top seller. Dangerously drinkable.

This beer is supposedly available statewide in Fl. but the company that distributes it only sells it in the city its based in! Hints of banana, mixed with citrus, feint signs of nutmeg. Pours hazy orange with a thin white head that doesn’t linger long. Buttery, hints of citrus and banana, but a lot of butter, with a bitter finish.
