Alright, so I've been AWOL from the blog for about a good week, but that hasn't stopped me from drinking some beer in the meantime. I'm in catch-up mode, so I've got about 6-7 beers to add to the list and then I'll be caught up. It all starts with Bell's Oberon, which is something I had late last week to go with dinner. Can't quite remember what I had for dinner, just thought that this type of beer would pair nicely.
Beer was poured into a pilsner glass with about two fingers of fluffy white head. Very good retention, nice splotches of lacing left over on the glass. Color was a hazy golden yelllow-orange. Aromas of orange, coriander, biscuit, and wheat are detected. It's not overly aromatic, a lot of it is subtle.
This one is tastes different, much more complex than a Blue Moon or Shocktop. Granted, those probably two bad examples, but you know what I'm getting at. Tastes of wheat and orange and coriander hit, but then there comes this slightly bitter finish that's typically unlike most wheat beers. There's still a bread like finish from the yeast and grains. Nicely balanced. I found the carbonation to be average, with an average, slightly creamy mouthfeel. This is a solid summer session beer to enjoy outdoors. I highly recommend. Think I'm a nutcase? Then let me know!
