I'm not sure If I've ever been more excited to try a beer before. I have been waiting literally nearly a year to try this beer. Since they don't sell it in Western New York I thought I would be waiting damn near forever. I recently have moved down to Orlando Florida, more specifically Lake Buena Vista. Yes, that's where Disney World is. I'm working for Disney World right now. But, to my surprise I was walking about a local grocery store earlier and saw it! I saw Bells Oberon Ale, and I damn near almost broke the bottles because I was so quick to throw the 6 pack in the cart. I felt like a little kid on Christmas morning getting that toy I've waited for, for so long.
Bell's Brewery lists Oberon Ale as an American wheat ale brewed with Saaz hops. Spicy and fruity, Oberon is the color and scent of a sunny afternoon. Should be an easy going beer with a modest 5.8% ABV.
Time to try the beer, and I'm praying I'm not disappointed because my expectations are absolutely through the roof.
A: Hazy golden body topped with a whispy white minuscule head.
S: Floral and citrus hops mixed with bread malts. Not very much to write about with appearance or scent. Very straightforward.
T: Tangy wheat with a small bit of vanilla on the front. Some fruity spices and light herbal hop flavor in the middle. The finish is bread malts with some coriander.
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
D: I put the beer down in about 10-15 seconds. Once I got my first taste, I couldn't stop drinking it. Nectar of the gods sums this up perfectly. Mix the PERFECT taste with a decent ABV and you have a session brew.
Grade: A+ | Two Thumbs Up | 100 - - - Go get this beer however you can.
