12oz bottle, batch 8009, my beer was packaged on June 12, 2007. Hazy orange beer with dense white foam. Aroma is malty with lots of yeast notes, little bit of orange rinds in there too. Very rich flavor for a "summer beer", fairly malty, lots of wheat and a great yeast flavor. I’ve been converted, I used to hate it but now I really enjoy the Oberon.

Bottle. Pours a medium hazy golden color with a nice fluffy white head.Aroma of wheat, light clove and citrus. Tastes of wheat, oranges, light hops and spices. Has a semi sweet refreshing very satisfying finish. Excellent brew!

Bottle at chris_o’s pre beerexposed tasting. Alround rating: Fruity, tropical fruit, tangerine, theres a decent amount of wheat which is a bit thin and very much american wheat like, but still quite good. Take out the wheat and iv no doubt this would be awsome.

Draught at Old Dominion Brewhouse, Washington DC
Blond color. Light aroma. Medium bodied, with some malt flavor and correct bitterness. Not exciting, but drinkable.

Bottle from MrChopin, thanks man! Poured a hazy orange-yellow color with a thick white head that stuck around nicely and left some spotty lacing. Spicy aroma of wheat with some soft orange peel, light lemon, and a bit of yeastiness. Crisp, lightly spicy entry leads into some fresh wheat and a bit of smooth orange and just a hint of floral hoppiness. Crisp on the palate with soft carbonation. Nice wheat.
