Bell's Oberon Ale from Bell's Brewery, Inc.
Rating: A-
Appearance: Amber in color, hazy as you would expect from the style. One finger white head, little retention - surprisingly so, actually, since wheat beers are usually quite foamy. Not much lacing.
Smell: White bread, orange blossom honey, and just a hint of banana. Complex and very nice.
Taste: Very refreshing and balanced. Citrus (orange) hops, a little spice (clove?) and bready malt. Slightly buttery in the middle, finishes clean and dry. Excellent.
Mouthfeel: More spritzy than you would guess from looking at it, somewhat creamy. Body is somewhere between light and medium. Very crisp.
Drinkability: Refreshing while still complex, and well-balanced, this is an exceptional summer beer. Recommended.
