Finally found the paper I wrote this down on a month ago. found it on tap at the Eccentric Cafe I believe the 11th of October. Pours a little darker than the original Oberon...thin vanishing head.. Oranges and alcohol....its all I taste. Not bad, but could be improved.

On tap @ Eccentric Café. Great-looking peaches dark golden-orange with a light 1cm head. Inviting colour, strong effervescence. Heavy on the wheatiness (albeit not heavy bodied). A sweet and fruity offering that does not feel like 9.5%. Apricot and passion fruit come out more in a creamy than juicy way. The soft rooty and earthy whispers towards the end manage to attenuate the sweetness, but fail to collaborate any refreshment which is really lacking in a fruity wheat beer, as strong as it is.

Draft @ the Eccentric Cafe. Pours a very bright, slightly hazy orange color; thin perimeter of small white bubbles. Reserved aroma, showing only basic sugar and oranges; cardboard and sugar. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lots of orange-tinged sweetness and chewy sugars, with a touch of wheat underneath; mostly, however, a constrained and overly sweet, sticky, orangey beer; doesn’t warrant the level of alcohol (well-hidden, but so is the taste). Disappointing. Medium finish: dried oranges, stickiness, and basic sweet sugars; ends with sweetness.
