Brews and Blues Beer and Smokin’ Blues

Bell’s Oberon Ale

Someone commented to me earlier that the Bell's beers were really good. So, in my next assorted six-pack, I tossed in a Bell's Brewery Oberon Ale for a sampling.  The Oberon Ale is tagged as an American Wheat Ale and Summer Ale on the back label.  Like the Bell's Amber Ale I sampled previously, this beer is bottle conditioned and contains a light sediment in the bottle that provides the cloudy appearance in this wonderfully fruity and refreshing beer.  Oberon will be on my very short list of favorite summertime refreshing and thirst-quenching brews of choice.  The Paulaner Hefe-weissen that I sampled earlier is also high on this list. 

I'm going to be brewing my first batch of beer on Sunday.  I have everything in place to make that happen, and I'm out of school on Monday and Tuesday, so I'll be posting some stuff from the brewing experience the first part of next week.  I'll probably make some photos, or I may even shoot video instead since I haven't used my video camera lately. 

After tasting this Oberon and the recent sampling of the Paulaner, I might just brew a wheat beer as my second brew...
