OFallon Wheach

Brewed by OFallon Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
OFallon, Missouri USA

Hazy pale golden pour with a thin-lacing wispy white head. Fresh sweet, very peachy fruity aroma. Body starts with a good, semi-sweet fruity peach and wheat flavor but thins some toward the finish. I like the peach character but it could use a better base beer.

Smelled like Budweiser with some peach added. Refreshing, and different, but had too much of a corn, bland flavor. I liked the peach, but the aftertaste was lacking.

Taster at the <a href=/events-detail.asp?eventID=3891>Balmoral Brewhaha. Yeah... full-on peach attack, fer sure. I should try this in a Fuzzy Navel. Peach flavor overwhelms its light wheat counterpart. I mean the taste is still very nice, and I’d say it goes down well, but again, it depends on how much fruit you can put in it and still have a beer.

Pours a cloudy yellow with a small, slightly fizzy head. The peach aroma isn’t really all that realistic. I’m not sure if they used natural flavoring in it, but if they did, they used some unripe peaches or mixed in some apricots, which I’ve heard. The fruitiness is almost pleasant in the flavor, but this beer irritates me.

Bottle - huge peach nose - gimmiky, but it’s nice. Clear golden body with nearly no head despite an aggressive pour. Peach flavor - next to no malt or hops. I like it, but it doesn’t taste like beer to me - it is more like a wine cooler.

Bottle (12oz). Sounds like a balcony beer so I’m having it on my balcony - the sailboats are out this afternoon. Cloudy pale yellow with a lasting average white foamy head, quite a bit of sludge in the bottom of the bottle and under the cap. Aroma is peach all right, fresh, ripe tree-sweet peach with only hints of generic witbier backing - plus points for smelling so non-fake. Taste is a little more like a wine spritzer mashed up with peach marmelade - still nice and peachy but it’s sweeter and a little cloying - mouthfeel is syrupy, only somewhat carbonated, sugary and pretty thick - freshness wins me on this, could stand a bit more beer character when all is said and done.

12oz bottle. Hazy and sedimented. Dull golden hue. Strong peach nose. Lively and grainy. Good base wheat flavor. Peach flavor is apparent but not overpowering. Efferevescent and sweet. Perfect for summer in St. Louis.

(Bottle) Pours a cloudy golden orange body with a small white head. Aroma of florals, mustiness, and peaches. Malty flavor with a touch of peach. Chauky mouthfeel. I do not see how this could really appeal enough to anyone to buy again.
