Summer is here and that means the lightest of the seasonal beers are upon us - along with heat, beaches, and all that jazz. Summer seasonals runs the risk of being an offensively bland beer as less-talented brewers sacrifice flavor for drinkability. The better brewhouses, however, manage to pack a complex taste along with a balanced and light body. Bell's Oberon, I'm happy to report, is the later.
Bell's Oberon
Bell's Brewery
American Wheat Ale
B+ / 3.9
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | drink: 4
Pairs nicely a BBQ, friends, and a backyard.
Pours a hazy light orange with a white head. The aroma has a creamy orange and malted wheat. The flavor is a nice mix of spicy and citrus hops flavors from the Saaz with the sweet wheat for balance. That creates a pleasant balance of citrus fruit, mellow malts, and spicy/bitter hops - all in a great summer beer. What a deal.

What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
