Poured at the brewpub. It has a cloudy straw colored body with a think white head. The aroma is very wheaty with a fairly strong lemony character. The flavor is nice and light with a slight hop flavor. It is very light bodied and makes an excellent summer drinker.

A real good summer beer. We get it on draft here in Michigan. Better on draft than from the bottle. I lok forward to this every April.

Murky gold with fair white head / Light wheat, lemon & bread nose / Light, moderately creamy body with good finish / Light, bright, sweet citrus flavors of lemon and pineapple with undertones of wheat and flowers / Best wheat beer tried so far?

12 oz. bottle - thanks to beerlando for the trade; pours a beautiful hazy light orange with frothy off-white head; aromas of lemons, grass, wheat and stale grain; aromas sort of on the rich side; bready, raw grain, lemons, yeast and honey; very nice texture and great beer overall; could drink plenty of this

bottle. pours an unfiltered deep golden with a nice white head. pleasant citrus and spicy aroma. spice up front with big wheat malts over the top. nice bitter finish for a wheat ale... the Saaz hops are really pronounced here... plenty of citrus / lemon notes throughout. Bells delivers the best beer for Summer.... Oberon is something I will buy every year.

Bottle. Color was a cloudy yellow with about two fingers of white head that left a thick lacing around the glass. Aroma was nice it reminded me of the smell of bread dough. You know that sweet yeasty smell that you used to get in the kitchen when your mom or grandma would make fresh bread when you were a kid. The taste is refreshing, tangy but smooth yet filled with hops that just as it hits the back of your tongue fads off into a nice fruity flavor. I really liked this beer it was impressive, I will absolutely be trying more of the beers that bell’s makes.

Pours a nice and hazy gold with a fair amount of creamy head that laces nicely. Smells of citrus rind, orange, lemon and yeast. Tastes as it smells with spice and a little hops and finishes with a dryness. Feels light in the mouth and quenches ones thirst very well. A session beer no doubt and on a summer day this is an oasis.

Although I am usually anti-fruit with beer, this one REQUIRES an orange. If you haven’t had it on a summer day with a fresh slice of orange, it simply doesn’t count. It is a mediocre beer without the orange. But with it, it is fresh, beautiful, continuously drinkable with a nice citric bite to go along with the wheat smoothness.
