Bell's Oberon - Your Opinion?

hehe, I drank some a few months ago when it was 40F also. basically meaning I do not drink Seasonally.

 

I'm sure you get this all the time but I loved you in "American Pie".

 

One of my favorite summer beers. When it comes out, I know the warm weather is almost here.

 

Agreed. It's a good example of a mundane style, but that hardly justifies all the hype it receives.

Give me a good weizen or witbier any day.

 

Solsun/Oberon was also my introduction to craft beer. I will always enjoy having one. Had some great times at the release parties.

 

Im for it.

 

Yes, I meant just the American pale wheat ale.

 

Haha, I seriously get that all the time. Even the celebrity look a like websites gives me Jason Biggs as my number one. I can't shake it!

 

It's no Gumballhead, but it'll do in a pinch.

 

Send me some and I'll give you my thoughts...

Hey, it worked for Todd!

 

Haha. I'm glad you thought it was funny, I didn't want to piss you off but the resemblance in your avatar is crazy! Cheers

 

liked it better when it was sol sun... seems like they over supply this as i think the local beer stores and krogers still has supply from last summer.....

 

and it's the "Little Joe's Beer Tent" beer..heh.

 

Good summer beer.

 

I agree with the changing tastes for sure. My gateway beers taste pretty blegh to me now. But I do put some weight on the fact that friends who dont drink often have noticed a change. I am very excited to see Oberon in cans and I will continue to drink that beer.

 

I'll echo the sentiments of many here...nice summer session brew, nothing all that exciting though. Drank a lot of these last summer in Florida by the pool when it was 98 degrees out and they did the trick.

 

I love Oberon and consider it my "gateway beer" as many have stated. One thing that I find odd is that sometimes I'll get a sixer and LOVE it as I should one of my favorite beers. Other times I'll get a sixer and it seems to have a completely different taste to it. I always have good experience with the mini kegs. Wondering if anyone else has had this same experience? Also I wonder if this beer has changed over the years as some have suggested?

 

It got me into craft beer, so it will always have a spot in my heart (or should it be liver?), but it seems to be off from what it used to be. Still, on a hot summer day, it's always a decent choice...
