OFallon Wheach

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

12oz bottle. Pours a cloudy, yellow-golden body with a finger-width, white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a light lacing. Aroma is very sweet peaches with a light tartness and tea. A good amount of balancing wheat malts keep the sweet fruits in check. Very straightforward, but refreshing aroma. Flavor is exactly the same. Lots of sweet peaches and maybe a little apricot with plenty of balancing wheat malts. A hint of grain, tartness, and tea as well. Lightly sweetened in the finish with a touch of dry, tart earth. Lingers with peaches and wheat for a moderate duration after a smooth, light body. Overall, very simple, but highly drinkable, refreshing, and crisp. I was anticipating this being pretty bad, but I came away liking it. I know its kinda of lame and fruity, but the wheats really made this smooth and balanced. Not bad at all if you’re in the mood.

12 oz. bottle from The Party Source. Pours a cloudy yellow-gold with a quickly-vanishing white head. Aroma of peach, wheat, sweet malt, and apricot. The flavor follows suit- sweet and fruity. Light bodied, simple, easy to drink, and dry. Not very complex. Not entirely different from a Berliner Weisse, and might pass for one with more wheat and tartness.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma of sweet peaches. Poured yellow in color with a large, white head that diminished but lasted throughout. Hazy and slightly cloudy. Sparkling. Many small and large-sized particles throughout. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of peach, wheat and a hint of caramel. Light to medium body. Thin, dry texture. Average carbonation. Peach and wheat finish is dry.

12 oz bottle purchased as part of a beers of summer 10 pack at World Market. Ont he bottle, this says bottled by O’Fallon Brewery, Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Interesting. I wonder if they contracted just for the World Market run, or if they always contract brew this beer. Pour is cloudy hazed yellow golden white with a one inch fizzy white head that falls fast. Aroma of grainy wheat and peach skin and fruit. Maybe a hint of yeastiness. Not bad, but pretty faint. Taste is the peach, more or less immediate - decent natural fruit flavor, a little husky, a little sweet, nice. The grainy wheat follows that giving more to the medium bodied palate than the flavor. Crisp finish, nice simple refreshing beer.

Pours hazy yellow with a smallish white head. Aroma is all peach and apricot. Flavor is more peach, with a little bit of light malt and wheat. Pretty bad.

Pours a cloudy orange gold color with a bubbley white head. Extremely strong peach aroma and taste. The peach almost overpowers everything else. Could not imagine having more than one of these. 12 oz. bottle

Sample at Cicero’s in St. Louis. The beer is a hazy pale holden color with a thin white head that recedes steadily. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet peaches, wheat and tea. Light body with flavors of peach, wheat and sweet malt. The finish is fruity with a lingering wheaty aftertaste. Above average, especially based on my expectations of an over-peached fruit bomb.
