A cloudy yellowish orange with lots of suspended particles swirling around in it. It has a thick white head that left lots of frothy lace.Smell is great with citrus, wheat, and spice. Taste has the wheat, citrus, spice and hops which all make an appearance but none are amazing. Just a little bitter at the end.

Pours cloudy gold, decent head and lacing. Smooth flavor, slightly hoppy, definite wheat notes. Good stuff.

The only reason I need to try a beer is to have it sitting in front of me, tempting me with her sublime sensual body. If you tell me she comes from the Bell’s Brewery, I’ll cherish her every quaff of the way and probably ask for another.
Bell’s Oberon Ale, a summer wheat, pours a gorgeous cloudy peachy orange-red and practically lights up my glass. A soft, full head forms at the top of my wheat/hefe glass. She lingers throughout, leaving light rings of brussels lace on the way down. The nose - summer peaches, lemon, soft sweet wheat. Did I mention peaches? Yes, and deliciously tart and sweet at the same time. Hop oils and bite on the top and sides of my tongue, lending a crisp punch to this wheaty summer ale.
An excellent thirst-quenching summer wheat beer from Bell’s. I could easily quaff a couple glasses of Oberon Ale while relaxing on a deserted beach somewhere. Just me, the sand and the surf, and an Oberon Ale in my hand.

12 oz bottle from Casanova. Orange pour with a foamy white head. Spicy wheat aroma, citrus notes as well. Sweet tangy flavor, with some of the spice coming through. Nice smooth finish.

On tap...didn’t take notes, but remeber it rather well. I’ve heard outrageous ravings about this being the quintessential summer beer in the midwest, and yeah, it may be. Rather mild wheat flavor, subtly spicy, with a decent yeast character. A good post-lawnmowing beer.

What another wonderful beer from this brewery. Nice and cloudy golden color and fantastic flavor. I wish they made it year round.
