a tasty spring/summer classic, great from the bottle or keg, complimented by a slice of orange

Poured at the brewpub. It has a cloudy straw colored body with a think white head. The aroma is very wheaty with a fairly strong lemony character. The flavor is nice and light with a slight hop flavor. It is very light bodied and makes an excellent summer drinker.

slimchill (936) - Austin, Texas, USA - DEC 9, 2007
Bottle. Nose is light sour orange, bubblegum, and citrus hops. Sticky-sweet aromas punctuated by sourness. Opaque bright orange, heavy sediment, lots of slow carbonation up to almost no head. Opens with a sharp yeast acidity, extremely well balanced by citrus rind bitterness. Palate starts chewy, ends dry but smooth. Refreshing and satisfying. An exceptionally well-balanced beer in all respects.

A real good summer beer. We get it on draft here in Michigan. Better on draft than from the bottle. I lok forward to this every April.

UPDATED: NOV 12, 2007 Murky gold with fair white head / Light wheat, lemon & bread nose / Light, moderately creamy body with good finish / Light, bright, sweet citrus flavors of lemon and pineapple with undertones of wheat and flowers / Best wheat beer tried so far?

SuzyGreenberg (1578) - Seattle, Washington, USA - SEP 30, 2008
12 oz. bottle - thanks to beerlando for the trade; pours a beautiful hazy light orange with frothy off-white head; aromas of lemons, grass, wheat and stale grain; aromas sort of on the rich side; bready, raw grain, lemons, yeast and honey; very nice texture and great beer overall; could drink plenty of this

craftbeerdesign (1831) - Alpharetta, Georgia, USA - JUL 3, 2008
UPDATED: MAY 28, 2009 bottle. pours an unfiltered deep golden with a nice white head. pleasant citrus and spicy aroma. spice up front with big wheat malts over the top. nice bitter finish for a wheat ale... the Saaz hops are really pronounced here... plenty of citrus / lemon notes throughout. Bells delivers the best beer for Summer.... Oberon is something I will buy every year.

Jobus (7) - Chuluota, Florida, USA - OCT 10, 2007 does not count
Bottled. I love this beer and finally found it in Florida. Has a orange hazy look. Interesting mix of wheat and fruit that offset each other in a delicious way. Not bitter, sour, etc. at all.
