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

(Bottle at HBF2009) Yellow and hazy. Medium sized and dense white head. Strong peach aroma. Medium bodied palate with medium carbonation. Peach, lightly banana, sweetness and light bitterness in taste. Peach and sweetness in aftertaste.

Bottled. Yellow color, a bit yeasty hazy, small white head. Strong sweet peach-wheaty aroma. Crisp, refreshing palate. Semi-sweet, a bit grainy, banana, wheat, some peach. More or less what you can expect from peach wheat.

Bottled@HBF2009. Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is peach, some wood and mild notes of earth. Flavour is strong peach, dough, and earthy. Quite basic, and surprisingly boring.

A very thick beer with interesting taste. A good change from your everyday wheat. A somewhat creamy or milky feel in your mouth with is weird for a wheat.

12 oz bottle, via trade. Pours a clear light yellow gold body on first pour with a small fizzy white head that vanished completely rather quickly. The nose is just awesome for what this beer is, it smells exactly like gummy peach rings, and I love those! Does it smell like a decent Wheat beer? No. Does it smell especially natural? Hell no. But it does smell like one of my favorite candies, so I give it props for that. The flavor is a bit lacking in the comparison to peach rings though, it starts out pretty close, but the finish has a light almost sour (but not in an infected way at all) and lightly acidic bite to it. Not much in the way of a Wheat Ale to speak of, the peach flavor pretty well dominates. Mouthfeel is lighter bodied with a good deal of fizzy spritzy carbonation. Overall, this was a decent attempt at making a fruited Wheat, fared much better than lots of brewpub incarnations I’ve come across.

12oz bottle. Pours murky orange with a foamy white head. Heavily carbonated. Aroma is of citrus, wheat, peach, and hops. Taste starts off with lots of citrus, spice, and a very juicy peach taste that overpowers everything else. Lingering peach taste. Mouthfeel is light and very crisp. A very one-note beer, but it very freshing and drinkable.

Bottle. Half wheat half peach. Mix is different. Decent beer. Probably wouldn’t get again.

This is the best fruit beer Ive had to date. The peach tastes very natural, and it isnt overwhelming. The peach actually compliments the taste of the malts in the beer quite nicely. Id take this along with a plate of peach cobbler any day.
