This is my personal favorite summer ale. It has a citrusy flavor but not too bitter. I could drink these all day!

Quite possibly my absolute favorite American Seasonal ales ever. Very strong aroma but not over-powering. Sweet finish with the right amount of bitter. Good with an orange slice but amazing without out. Definitely the best summer beer...

This is the beer that got me into good beer. Mad respect! Best on draught (but bottle is good as well). Ya’ll got to stop hatin’ on this brew. Love the hop character, light bodied with a barely (barley) noticable slight fruity yeasty punch. It’s what I think an American Wheat should be period. A true session beer for sure. Drink up Midwest.

Perfect beer for the summer. Flavorful, light, and relaxing. Fruity, but not too fruity.

Very easy to drink. Great on a summer evening sitting outside. Great on tap or in a bottle. Citrusy and sweet flavor and smooth.

Excellent summer brew. Cloudy orange color, great lacing and frothy head. Spice is just right as is the hint of hops. Malt and citrus also present. My favorite Bell’s outside of the Two-Hearted Ale.

As a 25 year resident of Kalamazoo, I’ve been swilling Oberon ever since that first summer when it was Solsun and only available in 22oz bottles. It was startling outstanding and unique at the time, and the glam has never worn off. Excellent aroma of grain and hops, cloudy tawny gold color with a great head, flavor is sweet /sour wheaty with a touch of spice, excellent light hops bitterness in the finish. Palate is just plain excellent. Still has a bit of yeast residue in the bottom of the bottle. Not quite as distinctive as some other wheat brews out there, but one of the best.
