Oberon 2012

Monday was Oberon day, and I haven't posted until now...I'm a bad Michigander.

Grabbed a couple pints from Chumley's to celebrate the delicious brew that is Oberon...and like always it tasted like sunshine and happy.

This year's brew is exceptionally clean tasting, and maybe a little less orange colored than I remember. Odor and main flavor points are all the same as they should be. Light, crisp, citrusy with a touch of sweetness.

My Rye-IPA is finally pigged and bottled. I'm having a brew party next Saturday, so that's when the pig will be unleashed. I took a couple samples to make sure it carbed and I'm really excited. The rye flavors are still definitely there, and the bitterness of the summit hops really works well with the earthiness. The palisades come in at the end and taper the flavor off to a pleasant dryness.
