The weekend got me a little sidetracked but I still had one new craft beer a night and reviewed it (just didn’t get around to posting it).
Sunday’s April Dirty Thirty beer was…
Bell’s Oberon Ale
Critical Information:
- 5.8% ABV
- Summer Seasonal
My Experience:
– POUR
Poured from bottle into pint glass. It has a hazy, golden-yellow color with a white foam head that disappears quickly. There’s a fair amount of bubbles that work their way to the top of the beer.
– SMELL
I think I get just some malt and cloves. It is very subtle.
– TASTE
Fresh, even blend of malt and hops. No strong flavors here but it’s consistently flavorful. There’s a slight bit of cloves and nuttiness.
– FOOD PAIRING
Burger with bacon and swiss. Need I say more?
– OVERALL THOUGHTS
Quietly impressing. At 5.8% ABV this isn’t a session beer but I could easy drink it as one. Should you get it? Immediately.
Score: 8/10
