Bells Brewery - Oberon Ale Review

Type: Summer Seasonal

ABV: 5.8%

Sight: Wheat yellow with a very light orange hue. Ultra thin head of white that made a swirl pattern on the surface.

Aroma: Light malt, grains and yeast are up front. The light sweets come from citrus...maybe grapefruit or a little lemon.

Taste: Fresh and clean light sweet malty beginning, then the sensible hop character comes forward with a slight citrus ester. The middle to the finish are nicely balanced between grain and more citrus. That same citrus pinches the corners of my throat.

Overall: Very nice a mellow for a hot summer refresher, or thirst quencher. Mouthfeel is light, with a mild sour that leaves the palate quickly.

Score: 8.5/10
