12 oz bottle via csbosox (thanks!). Pours a hazy blonde with a small head. Nose is of course wheatish, with notes of vanilla and caramel. Tastes just like it smells with a fizzy well carbonated finish. medium bodied. VERY refreshing. I do not normally care for wheat beer, but this is extremely tastey!

Pours a golden hazy orange with a nice white head and lots of lacing. There’s a lot of sediment in the glass making it difficult to see through. Aromas are grass, lemon, corn, and orange. The taste is slightly bitter at first, like an orange peel but not as bad. There’s lemon, orange, and grassy hops. This beer is extremely easy to drink. For the style I don’t find any problems with it whatsoever. Just delicious and perfect for a hot day.

I first enjoyed Oberon last year and I must say, thumbs up. Very good summer beer. I think that it was better tasting this year than last. It’s much better on tap than in bottles though.

This is a delicious wheat ale with a citrusy flavor that is easy to drink. Bells makes excellent beer but they are fairly expensive compared to other regional breweries.

Oberon is one of my favorite beers. It has a wonderful taste that I don’t mind repeating throughout the summer months. Great with food, with an orange wedge, or with several other Oberons.

Appearance: Coarse foamy white head with minimal retention. Pours a cloudy light amber. Smell: Wheat and citrus with some yeast notes. Taste: Fruity wheat with a background of medium spicy hops and overtones of lemon. Sweet with lots of malt character. Mouthfeel: Smooth and light. Medium to light carbonation. Drinkability: Light and easy drinking, with a flavour profile that allows it to pair well with a wide range of foods.

UPDATED: JUL 12, 2009 Very good beer. I like the color and aroma very much. Often served with a citrus wedge, I actually prefer the falour with out it.
