Bells Oberon Ale

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

Serve in Shaker, Weizen

Draught: Poured a yellow with white color head. The aroma is wheat and slight fruit. Taste follows with that wheat and fruit, very pale ale balance and feel.

12 oz bottle thanks to Vyvvy. Look I really like a lot of what Bell’s is doing but is this beer really almost a 3.5? Poured a hazy orangey/yellow/brown with a bubbly white head that looked like appple cider with some large floating chunks. Aroma had some sweetness to it and was pleasant, when you actually smelled it. Palate was medium body with a nice mouthfeel that finished with a slight bit of bitterness. The flavor was light with some hints of fruit but overall needs to kick it up some. For Bells this one is a let down to me.

At Three Cellars tasting Bell’s Brewery night. Pale cloudy yellow with a medium wheaty aroma to go with a light citrus aroma. Tastes of wheat and mild fruit, somewhat spicy. Pretty good for a wheat beer.

Pours cloudy and golden with a 1/4 inch white fluffy head. Smells like bread and a touch of citrus. Had to work hard to find the aroma in my glass though. Flavor is surprisingly sweet and not very strong. The taste is like a vanilla sandwich on white bread with a glass of orange juice to wash it down... On the palate it is light and airy as a good wheat should be. Tasty for a summer day, but I’m not overly impressed by this one. It is Bell’s though so it is very true to the style! I could drink it again on the deck this summer.

Bottle. Hazy orangish gold with thick white lacing. Nose is heat and yeast. Very fruity--mostly orange, with light spicy hops, and a little yeast. Very easy and pleasent drinking. Will have to pick up more of this when it starts getting warmer again. But is this really $10 a 6 pack. I can see paying $10 a 6 pack for the expedition or kalamazoo, but not this.

Pours cloudy dark yellow with a tall lasting white head. The aroma was fruity with an acidc sharpness. Sweet, tangy flavor, with some dryness in the finish. I prefer German Hefes, this isn’t bad if you like the American style.

Draft at Saint Stephen’s in Philly with Dallas. Pours a bright, but hazy orange body with thin white lacing. The aroma is wheat, orange, and some hop. The mouthfeel is medium, smooth, and refreshing. What a great wheat ale - notes of wheat, orange, citrus, and some citrus hop.

Pale yellow in color, with a thin, white head that left copious lace down the side of the glass. There is a subtle wheat beer tang with hints of spice and banana. I don’t find this beer as refreshing as I like in a summer seasonal, but it is a good American wheat beer.
