(120z bottle). Pours a large head with a yellow/orange hue. Some sediment is present but nothing like a bavarian wheat. Nice yeasty aroma that is very pleasant. Light sweetness parts for a slight bitter finish. dried fruit (apricot?). This beer is fairly light, but it makes a great summer beer.

Hazy gold color pour with a frothy head. A refreshing brew with wheat, yeast, citrus and spices coming through. Very good stuff.

Hardly any aroma, but the carbonation looks nice and the color is nice and golden. Slightly flowery taste, refreshing. nice, I’d have it in a bar again, this was a gift from a friend who brought it from Wisconsin.

Goethe: How to rate (art) beer: 1)what is it trying to say? 2)does it say it? 3)is it worth the effort? Oberon isn’t a big tasting ale, but it does its job exceedingly well.

What happened to this beer? Was one of the most unique summer brews around.

a little disappointing for my first taste of a bells beer, was hoping for a two hearted ale, but this was on tap at the house of beer, so what the hell. very middle of the road wheat ale, the fact that its filtered isnt helping matters, flavors are way too weak, a little banana, thats about it. everything else is fine, color is good, palate is fine, just not one that i would come back to.

This is an interesting ale. The aroma and flavor are full of fruit and citrus, perhaps some bannana. There is also a good amount of yeast and some sweet malt and bread. The combination is sweet overall, and pleasant. The finish is smooth, sweet and full. The alcohol could be a bit higher for more of a kick, but overall the balance is nice.

Hazy golden color with a white head. Nose is wheat, spicy, little bit of citrus. Nice citrus flavors, and wheat with slight hops in the back. Nice and easy drinking and not too heavy like some wheat beers. Get a nice cream finish as well.
