Pours white golden forming a lacy, foamy head. Aroma is of hops, lemons, and malted wheat and oranges. Flavor is of a medium bodied beer, that says "drink me again on a hot afternoon". Very well balanced ale that is both to enjoy with good friends but to session with them and while doing lawn work.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle. Cloudly light orange color. Thin off white head. Nose is yeasty with some grain and citrus. Alot like Blue Moon, but with a little more spice on the tongue and not as sweet, Pretty good.

Bottle. Lemon, light color with limited but soapy head that hangs on the glass. Wheaty, citrusy, grainy. Average to light body. Somewhat bready on the finish. A nice beverage when seeking something on the lighter side but still with enough flavoring to be distinctive

Oberon is a great wheat ale all summer long. It provides a template for other American wheats to work from as it is aromatic and richly flavored. Increasingly yeasty in finish as a nod to German wheats. very nice.

First thing, I dont really like wheat beers. Except for this and Gumball head. Hazy orange pour with a fluffy head and nice spiced aroma. This beer brings back memories and is still a fun pour/

mild aroma, light carbonation... a hint of orange with a balance of spice... mild flavored wheat ale
