Bells Oberon Ale

3.9/5

AROMA
7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20


12 ounce bottle, bottled 06/03/11. Pours hazy and cloudy golden orange color with a fairly dense 1 finger white head with nice retention, that reduces to a fairly thick lacing cap. A small amount of lacing clings to the glass as well. Aromas of orange, wheat, pepper, spices, bread, and yeast. Fairly nice aromas, but they are a bit muted. Taste of big orange, bread, spices, pepper, and lemon. Lingering notes of pepper and spices on the finish. Nice balance of flavors throughout. Medium carbonation and body, with a bit of a creamy mouthfeel as well. No alcohol noticed other than a slight warming after the finish as expected. Very high drinkability as well, as expected. Overall this is a very nice wheat ale I would have again.

A very nice Wheat Ale from Bells. I will have it again in the future, which will probably end up being next summer haha.
