First brewed in 2008 at our original brewery in downtown Kalamazoo, Oarsman Ale grew out of our desire to explore the tradition of session beers and to create a unique, flavorful experience for everyone, no matter what the occasion.
Tart and refreshing, this sessionable, bright Wheat Ale exudes citrus and lemony aromas from Cascade hops and trades sour intensity for finesse. A perfect companion for any occasion, Oarsman Ale is a beer based in tradition, but with that distinctive Bell’s twist.
A perfect beer to compliment any menu.

Bottle. Kind of cloudy, gold in color with a medium, quickly disappearing head. Aroma is a light tart fruit smell. The taste is lightly tart with a fruity finish.

12oz can pours out straw color topped with a white head. Nose is nice wheat citrus and a touch of spice. Taste is more of the nice wheat notes spice and a little citrus hop.

Pours hazy golden with a thick white head. Aroma of lactose. Taste is relatively plain, dry wheat elements. Smattering of lactic sour notes on the back of the tongue. Like a weak berliner weisse.

19th Jan 2018; part of a Flight at The Brewhouse, San Juan Capistrano. Straw blonde with a white, wispy head. Not too sure I would have said it was a Berliner Weisse styled brew as it doesn't have that tart sharpness I associate with that style. Anyway, this has citrus leanings in aroma and taste giving a slight sourness the overall feel of the beer and subtle lemon flavours. Liked it, even if I couldn't pigeon hole it into a style (why should a beer have to fit into a defined style?).
