3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a nice golden yellow, like those golden apples. Healthy white head. Aroma had hints of sweet grain mixed with citrus; however, it wasn’t too strong. Taste had mixes of citrus, some spice kick to it, hoppy bittnerness going down, and a bready/grainy texture. Could have been a little thicker and better carbonated. Overall a great beer to kick back with.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hazy orange/yellow colored brew. Slight aromas of bananas/citrus detected. Minimal, almost insignificant, white head. Very tasty though, tastes of fresh oranges and lemons. Like lemonade with a kick, a bit skunky too. Also am I the only one that noticed it, but did this beer have some massive caramel notes to it?

Bottle. Golden pour, little head. Flavor of wheat, citrus, and a hint of bitter finish. For a wheat beer it is awsome, very tasty on this 85 degree day.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draught pint at a local Oberon Release Party, indicating that the first of this beer has arrived in our area for the season. Murky, cloudy pale orange, the very little head surprised me. Lemon and orange citrus aromas with some grassy tones. Hoppy bitterness up front with some lemony flavor. Light, refreshing mouthfeel with a dry lemon flavored finish which can be a little harsh.Very drinkable and refreshing, pairs well with any seafood or appetizer/salad course or by itself on a hot summer day.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a yellow/gold with a decent head. Aroma & taste is mild but nice: fruity, notes of citrus & hops. Body is light. Overall: good.
3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Apparently named after Oberon, King of the Fairies. It’s a bit of a fruity drink, but nothing too fairy like. It’s actually quite enjoyable.

If you are from MI, you are bound by law to consider this one of your favorite beers. I like this beer. Nice in spring to remind you summer is on the way. Not my favorite beer, but definitely my favorite wheat beer.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Served from 12 oz. bottles at Brixie’s Spring Tasting in Brookfield, IL.. Another one of those long time favorites that I’ve enjoyed many times, thought I reviewed,..but didn’t. Poured to my fluted fest glass by the Bell’s rep., a hazy, orangy gold, with modest, white foam to the head, and some cling to the streaks of lacing. The aroma was altogether light notes of yeast, grain, mid-fruit and citrus, malt sweetness, and spice. The flavor added a light hop bitterness, medium to light body, and lively carbonation. Refreshing and sessionable as always.
