Hazy straw color with minimal head retention of the white bubbles. Overwhelming diacetyl in this bottle!!!! I can't smell the wheat malt in this whatsoever. I can't smell or taste anything in this but butter. I'll re rate this at a later date with a new bottle.

This was pretty good, but I am not a huge fan of wheat beers. Spicy in flavor but the finish was a little wierd and not that much to my liking. However, don’t let me be the judge, try it anyways.

Bright golden with a bit of haze. No head aside from a trace amount of foam. Aroma is yeasty, lightly fruity (peach?). Slightly buttery with a hint of cloves. Tart and fruity. Slightly too thick and sticky to be the true summer refresher this wants to be. Still, it's mild, easy-drinking, and quite pleasant.

Cloudy straw gold body, small white head. Aroma is sweet and somewhat fruity. Flavor is mild overall, with some Saaz hoppiness and a bit of lemony zest. Not a bad quaffer.

Classic summer beer that I can no longer get in Illinois :( Pours a cloudy yellow with a thin white head. Heavy citrus aroma. Nice citrus flavor in the beer as well and just a little bit of spices. A great summer wheat.

Bells Oberon Ale 3/17/09 (on tap, Yardhouse in FL. Pours very hazy orange with a medium sized head. Aroma is minimal, with light floral notes. Palate is appropriately thick considering the wheat-haze present. Flavor starts with mellow wheat and fruit. Finish has some hop bitterness, but generally ends without leaving much of an impression. Overall, I was underwhelmed by this brew, unable to see much interesting behind a rich wheat body. Perhaps I got a weird tap?

Va BF 07 Draft: Barely detecatable hop aroma. Cloudy golden pour, medium head, but good lacing. Marigold flavor, lightly sweet. Grain and yeast finish.

this beer was very good. Balance, light yet full flavored. A real nice wheat beer. The sediment at the bottom is not my cup of tea, but still a damn good brew. Bell’s comes thru again.
