 JessetheHutt ( San Diego, California )B+ / 3.95look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | drink: 4.5 rDev: +2.5% Bottle from Mattmc1973. Thanks! Beer poured a hazy orange into the glass. No particles and surprisingly little to no head on a relatively gentle pour. The beer suffers for lack of head appearancewise. Aromas of citrus: lemon, orange. Also some background notes of mild spices and ripe banana. The flavor is excellent, although I can tell a bit of the hop profile has faded over time here. Still an excellent burst of light wheat, orange zest, lemon rind and just the slightest taste of malt. Everything is nicely balanced and if I lived up North, this would be a staple in my summer brew lineup. Nice job, Bells! Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 01-04-2010 03:28:49 | id: 1074895
 adamette ( Mentor, Ohio )A / 4.35look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | drink: 4.5 rDev: +11.5% Live review. Poured from the 12 oz. single that I bought as a single for $1.66 at Save-On Tobacco & Beverage in Mentor, Ohio a few weeks ago into my Fat Head's 0.5 L rastal pint glass. This review is long overdue as I have visited the Brewery, the Eccentric Café and have seen Oberon in so many places and I finally bought one. I want to say that I love the label which is remarkably close in color to the body of the beer but more than that it is sunny, happy and attractive. Incidentally "9344" stamped on the back label, whatever that means. A opaque orange body with lots of visible sediment floating about under a one inch creamy white head. I love this look. 4.5 S Nice lightly sweet wheat ale with very little hops to the nose. I find this smell interesting. 4.0 T A very soft, lightly sweet wheat taste with the nice grain presence and minimal alcohol tastes. It is easy to see why this beer is so popular. There is also the possibility of a light citrus but not the typical lemony taste but actually an orange taste that is just so welcome in this style. Very good indeed. 4.5 M Appropriately chewy, thick without being so much as to be distracting. Nice and smooth too. 4.0 D Very good indeed, maybe the best feature of the beer. 4.5 Notes: A classic, american session beer that everyone should try.

babaracas ( Everywhere, Florida )B+ / 3.9look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | drink: 4 rDev: +1.3% This is available year round in FL. Pours a very hazy orange, one finger white head, clump of sediment that quickly settles. Smell: lightly toasty and buttery, wheat, fruity and ever so slightly citric. (but a little too buttery). Taste: again, wheaty and buttery, spicy hops, citrus oils - lemon and orange. Tangy, fluffy-ish feel, spicy drying finish (kind of rye like, maybe caraway?). This was actually pretty good. Bottled Dec 1, 2009. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 12-29-2009 04:09:52 | id: 1069682
 tytoanderso ( SLP, Minnesota )C+ / 3.2look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | drink: 3.5 rDev: -20.3% Bottle. Crisp, slightly sweet and zesty aroma. Some orange peel, lots of grain and a faint wheat sweetness. Pours cloudy bright orange. Flavor is crisp and refreshing with a touch of wheat sweetness, citrus zest and a grain back bone. Medium bodied. This beer used to be more wheat focused without the harsh graininess, but still is nice on a hot summer day. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 12-23-2009 23:16:02 | id: 1065496
 earthboundagain ( Washington, West Virginia )B / 3.7look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | drink: 4 rDev: -4.1% From Notes: A: Is this apple juice or a beer, but it does have a nice white head. S: Wheat and citrus in no particular order. T: Ok we have some big citrus mixed in with some soggy what crackers. This one is balanced, maybe a little too balanced. M: Light and crisp., like drinking sunshine. D: this one is like drinking a beer flavored water, and I could put back a few. Thoughts- this beer is a nice brew, and I could session it in the summer time, but it is not the biggest on the flavor department. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 12-23-2009 20:40:36 | id: 1065392
 mralphabet ( Roanoke, Virginia )B- / 3.5look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | drink: 3.5 rDev: -10% 12 fl oz bottle poured into pint glass. A: Amber in color and hazy, with about one finger worth of head... Pretty nice lacing. Looks like a good wheat. S: Not a lot going on here for me.... Wheat, with a citrus hops and a good amount of yeast.... not much else. T: A balance of sweet and tart.... It starts a very yeasty, then tames to a nice sweetness and finishes with a little tart in the hops. Not much aftertaste... M: Med bodied with a nice carbonation.... D: Not a bad beer.... but not anything special either. It is quite drinkable and would not be to bad after a nice hot summer day. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 12-21-2009 05:03:48 | id: 1063627
 climax ( Sacramento, California )B / 3.75look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | drink: 4.5 rDev: -2.7% Oberon poured a gold/orange, cloudy with several floaties. A good fizzy white head faded lazily. Aroma is very wheaty, not extremely potent though. Other notes included hints of citrus, alcohol, and soda crackers. Flavor is very wheaty as well. Bits of bitter lemon and crackers pretty much make up the rest. Body is light, but not watery. Carbonation is relatively mild and keeps a the chalky yeast feel crisp. Perhaps drinking this one in the middle of December isn't doing this beer justice. Given that, I'm sure it"d be excellent on warm summer day.

 yemenmocha ( Glendale, Arizona )B / 3.75look: 4.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | drink: 4 rDev: -2.7% Gorgeous appearance of pale gold with slight haze, and mountainous rocky white head that dissipates slowly and leaves behind an abundance of lace. Fresh beer! Nose has light fruit and a clean grain aroma that is subdued. Palate has a lightly sweet wheat component with balancing citrus to give it some complexity. Finish is somewhat fruity-tart, in a good way, and is rather easy drinking. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 12-19-2009 02:35:02 | id: 1062048
 tegelaar ( Allston, Massachusetts )B+ / 3.8look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | drink: 4 rDev: -1.3% Pours a cloudy pale orange. Small head that disappears into a thin film. Spots of lacing on the glass. Smells of honey, malt and a tad of pineapple. Tastes sweet and citrusy with a malt backbone. Quite refreshing. Mouthfeel is nice on the carbonation front, but I can't help the feeling that this is a little too syrupy. It's light and sweet and quite easy to drink a bunch. Where are the hops? Perhaps faded away as this beer is a summer seasonal. I'd love to have it super fresh. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 12-17-2009 23:30:55 | id: 1061199
