Kalamazoo Summer Wheat vs. Bell's Oberon

Bell's Oberon: can you tell it apart from Kalamazoo Summer Wheat in a blind taste test?
 |
In a blind taste test, subject; Janelle (my wife) was given sample A: Kalamazoo Summer Wheat and B: Bell's Oberon. She failed.
Larry Bell is an evil genius or patron saint. We'll let a higher power weigh in on that one, for now he's the beer baron who stole Illinois. I'm nearly convinced it's the same beer, different label. If he tweaked it by just one ounce of hops, 1 degree fermentation, etc... it's still a change in recipe.
Batches of beer turn out different regardless, even the slightest change in chemistry will cause me to digress into this stupid rant. My point is, Bell's is back in Illinois in its original label and more importantly available at places like Cal's Bar in Chicago's south loop.
Scoop a six-pack of Oberon for around $8, which is better than most retailers sold it for prior to its ban. Any press is good press and Larry Bell played his hand like it was the World Series of Poker.
