Bell's Oberon Returns

"How bad can it be?" I thought. Clicked on it.

"Liked" @Valdez_Mescalito post.

I don't know, if I "visit" a brewer's website, it's for information not entertainment. "Oh, look! That keg label is going around! That Viewmaster (how nostalgic!) thing is zooming in and out! (But when I click on it it links to a video. That's not what Viewmasters did!) Oh, wait and the left side bar is sideways and scrolling!"

I guess it might entertain your 2 year old if you put it on your table and hand it to kid as you drink at the bar.

 

FWIW -- I've never found Oberon to be sweet, but I also don't drink a lot of hoppy beer. You a hophead more than a malthead?

 

My phone warns me that the connection isn't safe and tells me to back out. Yeah, somebody screwed up the code.

 

That's a pretty good program - warns you when a website just plain sucks, too?

 

He posted before his first cup of coffee, not paying attention to who he was replying to...

 

Can't even get that far, but maybe it's a catch-all notice.

"Don't bother, site sucks, go somewhere else."

 

FWIW -- got into the Bell's new site on my desktop -- yeah, some AD at corporate took over... "Let's make everything move!"

 

TBH, I drank so much of it last year that I haven't started missing it.

 

I didnt like Oberon when I first had it because I felt they took a traditional style from Europe and bastardized it and Americanized it by making it more intense just because "experimentation." It was very spicy and bold and didnt seem that drinkable to me. Of course now my palate got used to it and I like it more but at the time I hated it.

 

I must be an outlier here as I don't really enjoy Oberon. I preferred another "O" offering from them, Oarsman.

That’s a crying shame. I’ll drink your share this year.

 

Damn it. Why didn’t I take your word for it? I got motion sickness just scrolling the homepage.

 

A surprisingly good beer to me, then it disappeared.
