Hazy golden yellow with minimal head. Raspberry, wheat malt, and grass/straw aroma. Mildly sweet raspberry, wheat malt, and mildly bitter grass flavor. Okay body.

OK, so bell has turned bastard and has really commercialized the oberon name. How many obies are there now, like 20? WTF. Anywho, this bottle poured into a glass is clear pale but there may be an ever so slight orange tint about it. Woe, nose is very raspberry and sweet, even a little artificial. I think I detect some tartness on the olfactory as well. Now, the first taste, mind you, is nothing like the aroma, its seemly and rudely wheat ale bitter and has some dull raspberry flavor in there. It comes across on the palate like so many other poorly made fruit beers of the domestic variety. Dull and uninteresting. I could only wish some of the pleasantries from the aroma carried over to the taste. Really disappointed in this. The odd thing about this stuff is after each big swig, you get this weird fruity perfume effect tickling the inside of your nose, so weird and undesirable. Whoever approved this recipe for release must have had covid er sumthin, and didn't have and any abilities to taste nor smell. What a mess. Lingering wheat ale bitter finish.

Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish pink gold with a finger of off-white head that lingers. Lovely raspberry focused nose with notes of wheat as it warms. More raspberry skin and fruit on the palate. Finish leans dry. Better than regular Oberon.

Draft at Orange & Brew. Clean but slightly hazy gold with a blush of pink. Foam head that leaves nice lace behind. Smell is just a light, agreeable whiff of raspberry. Taste is the also agreeable combo of a lightly malted beer, light wheat, and then a raspberry background.
