For my next installment I chose a beer that is from a brewery my buddy Tim has raved about. The beer is called Oberon Ale, and it is from Bell's Brewery in Comstock, Michigan.
Oberon Ale has to be one of the best summer seasonal brews I have ever had the pleasure of drinking. It is light and smooth with just a touch of fruity flavor, but not really any citrus flavor.
Unlike quite a few of the summer seasonal brews, this beer isn't stocked full of spices. It seems like the brewers were thinking about the fact that to be a good summer beer, you have to be able to drink a whole six-pack without getting tired of the beer. I can attest to the fact that this beer tastes good even when it is 110 outside, and that is not something you can say for every brew.
Bottle for bottle I would chose Oberon Ale over Sam Adam's Summer Ale for my current summer seasonal brew. Especially if you are looking for a good pool side beer in 110 degree weather.
Miraculously, this beer is available right now at my local Fry's. Probably just a fluke from a distributor, but you never know. Here's hoping some more Bell's beers make it out my way.
Bitterness: ~17 IBU
ABV: 5.8%
Style: American Wheat Ale
