Bells Oberon Ale

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

one of my favorite summer beers however,kalamazoo is going to kill me, but to be honest...... whitsun is better

Pours a cloudy, gold color, spot on for the style. Nose is of floral hops, a bit of sweetness, and a solid note of hops and yeast. Flavor is more hoppy than typical American Wheats, and there is a great bitterness here that is not too common in the style. A very welcome change to a style perfect for summer.

Pours with a deep golden body topped by a thin to medium thick, white head with some lacing. It’s slightly sweet and floral with a hint of bitterness and a touch of fruit. Light to medium bodied, smooth and a touch watery.

This is one of my all time favorites, very smooth and refreshing, it doesn’t seem like summer until the first oberon’s been cracked, I had to scale this rating down a little just because even though I really do love this brew, I think a 4.3 was a little high

Hazy golden color, and a thin white head. A bit of a fruity aroma, but a stuffy nose is preventing any real comments. Bit of a citrusy taste, and a bit of wheat. Dry finish. Over all, not too bad, but Bells has better.

This smells great. A malty but good aroma. Flavor is smooth and easily drinkable, this is quite tasty. Hard to even think of this as an American Wheat. Good stuff.

This wheat beer has a fullest body of an American wheat I have had. Semi-sweet flavor is well balanced with a medium hop bitterness. Higher gravity, for wheat beers at least, is undectable in the palate. Somewhat cloudy golden body conceals a myriad of flavor and mouthfeel. The best American wheat I have found.

Aroma was terrific -- I got a vision of sunlight, warmth, fields of ripe crops of wheat and corn. Even though it was a touch old, I enjoyed the yeasty, hoppy mesh, would have it again.
