OFallon 5-Day IPA

Brewed by OFallon Brewery
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
OFallon, Missouri USA

On Tap 03/24/2009 at Blueberry Hill In the U.City Loop (St. Louis). Orange/amber color. Floral, citrus aroma. Very good tasting with earthy hops, malts. well balanced through the finish. Enjoyed two of these, the 2nd being even more enjoyable. Very good offering of an American IPA - Cheers to O’Fallon!

Very nice fresh hop aroma with good complexity. Can’t dfine any particular aroma. Citrus/floral/herbal. Poured with a good head, slightly cloudy. Flavor is a bit earthy with hops that follow into a dry finish. As they say a good session beer

Thanks to my Missouri friend for bringing me the O’fallon brews. Great IPA with just the right amound of hops and goodness.

Draft in a shaker at Cicero’s in University City. Wow! A very nice surprise from O’Fallon. This was a delightful IPA that is extremely drinkable. In today’s marked of imperial IPA’s it’s hard to remember that a massive assault of the senses isn’t the only way to be a notable hoppy beer but O’Fallon has done a great job.

Found this one bottled at Sam’s Wine in Downers Grove, Illinois. A nice copper pour with a thick white head. Pronounced piney hops in the nose. A nice balanced taste early fades into a biting hop flavor. Nice, bitter finish. All in all, a nice, solid and not overdone IPA.

20070708 12oz bottle, trade from theisti. Dark copper-golden color with sturdy beige head of large bubbles. Unfiltered, or at least cloudy. Caramel and waffle notes blended nicely with fruity yeast and citrus hops. Background honey and floral hints. Flavor is simple up front, sweet and malty, notes of belgian waffle (belgian waffle?) and simple syrup before good resinous pop of cascade goodness. Mildly unctuous at the end, lingering citrus (grapefruit) pithiness after finish. Nice stuff that holds its own in a crowded morass of micro-brewed IPAs.

Wow. I was really impressed by this. I had no expectations whatsoever, as I have never really enjoyed the other O’Fallon beers I have had. However, this was a nice piney, resiny, citrusy IPA that, to me, exemplified the style. My only complaint is that the finish was short and the mouthfeel was a tad thin. Granted, I had this right after an Alpha King. Of course, that is also one of the reasons that I think that this beer deserves some attention. I expected it to be blown away by the AK, and I found that it had enough backbone to hold its own. Well played sirs.

This was a great IPA. Light copper in pour with a nice big white foamy head. The aroma is very hop filled with a bit of citrus. Semi-sweet citrus and hops in the flavor with a nice bitter bite to it.
