Poured from their 12oz bottle, from a 6-pak that my mother in law brought me from MI...
Appearance - Pours a finger of white eggshell head, body is a golden opaque lite orange, leaves some nice webbed lacing after the session.
Smell - wheat bread, faint citrus, lite minerals and light coriander.
Taste - full wheat flavor, bready malts, light citrus of orange and lemon, some light coriander spice, longer into the finish I get some meadowy hops and just a touch of grapefruit pith.
Mouthfeel - Lighter side of medium, silky smooth, but not quite creamy. Carb is heavier side of medium, but very smooth and foaming which gives a wonderful smoothness and excellent drinkability. Finish is clean and crisp and just slightly dry.
Overal - The perfect blend of a wheat beer and a pale ale, very refreshing, this beer tastes like summer, and pretty sessionable at 5.8%. Highly recommend for almost any meal, or for enjoying with friends on a warm evening.

look: 4.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4
bottle into pint glass
appearance: cloudy yellow- orange unfiltered with 1 finger white head
smell: citrus, cloves, coriander, wheat, rye,
taste: very smooth wheat backbone with subtle citrus and rye notes, very refreshing and highly drinkable.
mouthfeel: highly carbonated, light body
overall: Perfect summer beer, I went to school in Kalamazoo and Oberon Day is one of the best days of the year. Don't even bother if it's more than 3 months old, i'd even stop at 2. It's amazing fresh and and tap as well, even served with the stereotypical orange peel. Highly drinkable, if you like wheat beers this is one of the better American versions, maybe because they use only ingredients from Europe.

A - pours a pale orange with good head at first, that quickly disappears. Decent lacing, not much head retention.
S - orange peels, grains, wheat, bread. A light nose, but smells wonderful.
T - The most amazing blend for a wheat ale. I don't usually prefer wheat ales, but this brew is the most unique and drinkable beer I have ever had in this category. Crisp and refreshing, citrus notes, faint bitterness to close to bite just a bit for some lip smacking goodness.
O - This beer defies the odds for me. I can't place my finger on it. I don't really enjoy any other beers in this category, nor would I choose to drink any in this category. This beer needs its own genre and that would be ass kicking, highly (and dangerously) drinkable summer ale. It is the quintessential american summer ale and is an absolute must try. Note - although it goes against the grain for the beer purist, you must try it with an orange peel. This beer paves the way for the right of spring in Michigan. Amen Bells. Amen Oberon.
