If you have a chance to culture Bell's yeast from a bottle, I would use that instead of the WY1010 they provide.
I just did this. I used the recipe that is posted all over the net and used a really nice pitch I built up from a 2H bottle.
It's not close. Assuming that the recipe that has been posted all over the net is somewhat accurate, that means it's the yeast.
I would recommend trying 2565 or 3463 and possibly trying it at higher temperatures.
OR - make the kit - somebody else said it made a good beer, whether it's close to oberon or not.
Its great you posted this, I actually brewed it on Saturday. I also wanted to get someone's input on what the taste is. This is the extract version so I'm sure there is a diff, but from what I can see on the internet, Bell's version is a very good beer. I have already made the Amber Ale clone from Mickey's also purchased from perfect brewing and It was great so I trust this should be good.
Well I bottled last night, and I must say that it did not LOOK like Oberon. It was much darker than I had expected. Hopefully it will TASTE like Oberon in a few weeks.
