Bells Oberon Ale

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

Bottle. Minimal head for a wheat, light golden brown (typical lager) with some cloudiness. Unbelievably good! Round robust fruit flavors balanced impeccably with beer grain and bite. Best beer I have had so far. Phenomenal!

12oz Bottle, I lone the wit and this one is a great somme beer. Perfect summer time session beer. Cloudy Honey Color with white fruit in the nose and heavy yeast mouth feel. It is good good beer.

like blue moon but with a lighter mouthfeel and a bit sweeter. A perfect summer beer.

Outstanding beer. Fruity and complex, with a very nice finish. This is a regular resident in my icebox during the time it is available.

Very nice beer, has a pleasant after taste of citrus, best served chilled and in a big glass.

One of my new favorite beers. Looks like orange soda pop in the glass, awesome. Strong flavor of orange and a bold sweetness. This beer is full of bitter, sour, citrus, spice, caramel, wheat, yeast, and dried fruit, and apricot flavors. Medium bodied and soft in the mouth with decent carbonation. Finishes dry. Very complex and well balanced beer.

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.

I love this beer. It’s very fruity. Nice spice. Great afternoon session beer.
