Bells Oberon Ale

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

Pours a hazy golden/yellow - very active carbonation. Aroma is of musty apricot and smooth wheat - very nice combination. Taste is smooth wheat walt with apricot tones. Very rich buttery mouthfeel with noticable carbonation. Very nice lacing on the glass. As it gets further down the glass banana flavors come out and a bit of astringecny. Very nice enjoyable beer.

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.

#200 for me. Pours hazy yellow with lots of floating yeast; pretty much no head after the fizz from the pour goes away in a few seconds. Aroma is very wheaty and citrusy; nothing too out-of-the-ordinary. But the flavor is just plain unusual; awesome hit of citrus fruitiness, but it’s not as sharp as the typical lemony citrus flavor; it’s more mellow; sort of a more "closed up" flavor than a typical wheat, almost "musky" you might say; touch of banana/clove, vaguely reminiscent of a Belgian, and a slight vanilla/cream taste. Mouthfeel is awesomely full and thick for the style. This is a very cool and unusual beer. I was a bit taken aback from the first sip. Really top-notch wheat beer, and I don’t really like wheat beers; probably my favorite thus far.

lighter bodied than german wheat. This is ale not larger which is great. Great for summer

Tap. Pours cloudy orange with a light sudsy white head. Smells of fruits and yeast. Tastes of spice, fruit and wheat. Light bitter aftertaste. Goes well with an orange.

Hazy, cloudy pour nice citrus flavor Great summer beer. Michigan’s favorite wheat beer. This is a beer that I really can say no wrong about, it is brewed just down the road and we all know the summer release date for this summer beer.

Very refreshing beer on warm days beside a lake in Northern Michigan. Strong orange citrus taste with a light finish. Served on tap with a large orange slice, but combination of orange tastes is overwhelming at the bottom of the glass. Recommend small slice of orange or nothing at all.
