This is my #1 favorite all-around, hot-afternoon-have-a-beer-and-relax beer. Summer just isn’t summer without Oberon. Whenever we go back to Kalamazoo to visit family, we have to bring at least a case home with us. Recently I have had to bring more, as my co-workers are now addicted too!

Orangish hue, with a hoppy aroma. Taste is fruity, but doesn’t last long. A mildly hoppy finish leaves you wanting more. This is my favorite drinking beer. I prefer it in bottles, as on draught it is sweeter.

I tell the Bud Light Drinkers of the World that Oberon can only be likened to Blue Moon on CRACK. Best tasty summer beer I can get in Michigan.

Great summer beer! Wonderful hop aroma. The citrus and wheat really come together for a great summer time beer!

This was much better than the first time i tried on tap. This time I had it from the bottle in a traditional stein, very good. I am not much for citrusy finishes but this was very mild and refreshing. It poured a beautiful tranlucent gold with a light creamy head. Very well balanced, a great summer beer.

Delicious from start to finish. Pours a light cloudy orange with a short head that settles quickly. Light citrus and hops flavor. This is the taste of summer.
