    Pale wheat ale is one of my favorite styles and this is one of the better ones, up there with Gumballhead and sumpin sumpin.

    7.99 a six? I have not seen any of Bells beers at anywhere near that price here in Ohio.

    Good beer and a mini keg might actually be worth it with this one

    Good beer, always look forward to drinking it once in awhile. One of the beers I really liked when I only drank BMC and especially during MI summers. Maybe get a mini-keg this year..

    The store that I frequent has it at that price every year, but they have the rock bottom lowest prices in metro Detroit...$13.99 for Hopslam and Expedition Stout and $8.99 for Two Hearted, for example.

    Sorry but many of Bell's beers are damn fine beer, but to ME this is NOT one of them. If I want a wheat beer, I like BM best. Sure I love a good fresh Belgian wit, but they cost to much.

    I'm a big fan and am really hoping we get it in cans here this summer. :slight_smile:

    For me, Oberon seems to be getting less exciting each year, most likely due to the fact that heavy, dark, and hoppy beers are what I crave.

    I will say that an Oberon mini keg makes a great option if you're grilling out with a few friends in the warm weather. I can't think of a situation where Oberon would be better.

    One of my favorite spring/summer beers. I do find it a tad inconsistent though.

    I enjoy it. Not the best of its style but still solid.

    Not actually a seasonal. We get fresh oberon year round.

    It is made by Bell's right?

    Then I like it.

    Agreed! This is the only Bell's beer I've had that doesn't sit well with me. If I want a Pale Wheat Ale, I'm definitely going Gumballhead.

    Wtf!?!? I had one from last year's batch like 3 months ago and it was nasty!!! Bell's doesn't brew it year round
    ( see http://www.bellsbeer.com/brands/availability1/ ) so how is that possible? I was just at an incredible bottle shop in FL and despite having some K-Zoo Stout and a couple others, certainly no Oberon.
