Bells Oberon Ale

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

Serve in Shaker, Weizen

Pours cloudy, icy golden, small head, good lacing. Sweet wheat, honey, and sugar aroma. Flavor is intense, sweet wheat malt, orange peel, and sugar. Beer is thin but adhesive.. Flavor starts with a good bite. Finish is mildly flavorful like the beer, short, and good.

Draft: Poured a cloudy golden yellow with a nice head. The aroma was definitely citrus. The flavor was coriander, wheat, lemon and a hint of cucumber. Overall, a very good Wheat...very smooth.

The taste of summer. 12 oz bottle at the Jerusalem Garden, Asheville. This American Wheat beer was a perfect complement to my Middle-Eastern vegetarian platter (falafel, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, kalamata olives, and hommous with pita). The fruitiness from the weizen yeast perked right up with the Mediterranean spices and the Saaz finish cut right in with the olive oil in the food to make this a quencher. Another stellar offering from Bells!

Bottle. Hazy peach pour with a nice frothy head. Aroma holds really solid balance between nectar fruits including peach and a touch of mango, light spicy and grassy hops, and beautiful wheat and yeast. Flavor has more of that wheat, fruit, and increased hop presence. Absolutely delightful on a beautiful late summer’s day.

Mini keg from patrick, shared at SL. Pours a nice light golden orange color, decent head. Ok aroma of some wheat... Taste is a nice summer time wheat ale. Lots of wheat, yeast and light fruitiness to it. Really easy to drink. I wish I would of scored this in the summer time but oh well. Thanks ppimp!

Notes: It was enjoyable, delicious and simple, but many other wits and belgian styles would be my choice when spending $5 on a 12 oz bottle.

Bottle at the Brickskeller in DC. Hazy golden-orange color with a big white head. Aroma is wheat, yeast, and light fruits. Flavor is wheaty with an awesome fruitiness - banana, citrus, and tropical fruit - with some sweet honey. Really tasty. Palate medium-light and creamy. Simply one of the best wheat ales out there.

Pours a golden straw color. Big, long lasting white head. Citrus and fruity to the taste with floral aroma. Very nicely balanced with hops and very drinkable. Microbrew Blue Moon, but better.
