Solsun Oberon Clone Recipe Kit

While I do like Orberon beer I'm not to sure on this clone, after reading all the raving reviews I bought the LME kit, I followed the instructions to the Tee and the beer still came out way too dark (old LME ?) the wort also had a weird twang taste after the boil and top off, fermentation was fine and held at 68 degrees the full time (us-05 yeast), tasted beer before priming for bottles and twang was still there but not as bad but the beer was bland and flavorless I did see where dry hopping was used during fermentation by some people and I'm sure that would have bumped up the flavor profile but the kit did not include any hops for this nor did it call for dry hopping, I've got another week or so to go before bottles will be ready and I'm really hoping the added Co2 will make this drinkable,... Again directions were followed exactly as written and color was too dark with a twangy taste and beer was flavorless I'm still thinking old LME is the cause , maybe the AG kit would be a better way to go... Sorry AIH I had high hopes for this kit but was a little disappointed.

I harvested yeast from 3 16 oz cans of Oberon fermented 2 weeks on the cool side 62 degrees. I just transferred to the secondary 1.02 fg. Tasted very light not much flavor. I’m thinking about dry hopping to add more flavor. Any recommendations on what hop to use? Centennial?

I used yeast from a bottle of Oberon. The result was a virtual perfect match. If you like Oberon, this is it. I could not tell it apart from the real Oberon in a blind taste test.

Would recommend this kit, easy brew used US05 yeast fermented at garage room temp, for 2 weeks and kegged it for a week at 20 psi. A tasty home brew after a hot day in the yard...\~/...cheers

Perfect! I see more similarities with a German Hefeweizen than Oberon. Third batch in secondary.

Love this clone, reminds me of drinking Oberon on Michigan beaches. About to reorder.

Brewed this one up for the wife, who loves Oberon. Well, she used to love Oberon ... now she thinks this one is better! I've got to dial in my brew schedule better, because we are sitting with an empty keg. This one will go fast ...

This turned out great with the 3711 yeast. Only problem is that I got a lot of comments like, "oh, this one you brewed actually turned out good" or, "brew that again, maybe skip some of the others you try". I should also note that I don't really like Oberon, but I really enjoyed the results of this.

Great taste and have received nothing but positive comments from friends drawing a draft. Considering adding a dram of the Orange flavoring next batch to pull out the Oberon summer feeling.

This was my first home brew beer. Turned out much better than I thought. I took a six pack of it to a friends spiced pumpkin brew day and everyone wanted more so it really turned out just as good as I thought it did. I will be getting the kit again next spring time.

This is without a doubt one of the best beers I've made. I brewed it the first time in August and after the first sip I knew I would be brewing it again. It had great flavor, head retention, and maltiness. AIH kits are awesome. I have this sitting in my primary right now and bottled the AIH steam beer last weekend.

Got it sitting in seconday at the present and if the first glass is anything like the first taste from the hydrometer flask I will be happier than a pig in &(^t. Looking forward to the final product.

Coming back for more, everyone including myself loved it!

My brew turned out very close to it's Oberon name sake. It's a great-tasting beer that won't last long before the keg runs dry! Biggest difference with my brew is that it turned out much clearer than Oberon, but that's fine with me.

I just bottled the Solsun yesterday. It tasted quite good pre-conditioned, and it is definitely a good Oberon clone back when it was a true Saison. Cheers!
