OFallon Wheach

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

I love the little anime-esque smiling peach, who’s carefree grin represents the best of summer. The Wheach is a very foggy beer, the color of straw, with a wafer thin white head, making sure it isnt too difficult for the beer’s aroma to punch through. My nose catches a very natural peach aroma with a hint of wheat, the advertised combo for the Wheach, with an intense sweetness of high fructose corn syrup, the gum aching bite of sour green apple and a mineral bite like old cast iron. Comparatively the taste feels handicapped, or fettered. Initially it tastes diluted, but is robustly carbonated. Faint notes of peach, white grape and wheat saunter through the carbonated haze, with a more assertive floral and potpourri core unveiling itself as the carbonation rages itself away. Then peach takes the center stage once more before an evaporating, faint aftertaste, leaving the palate naked again for another sip. Certainly not a bad way to spend a summer evening.

I’m generally underwelmed by these fruity beers but this one really hit the spot. Poured hazy with a booming head and the predictable peachy aroma. The wheat ale base was quite evident and kept things beery while the peach, although generous didn’t overwelm or taste artificial at all. Something a little different and a grandly refreshing concoction. Try it!

Bottle compiments of Pepsican via trade. Poured a light yellow color with thin head. Aroma of wheat and peaches. Taste of tangy fresh peaches. Medium carbonation. Kinda like Pyramid apricot but with peaches.

Bottle: very sweet peach aroma. Yellow color with a decent head. Slight tart and strong peach flavor. Medium texture. Decent summer beer.

Pours a hazy pale orange with a one inch head that fades to a thin cap and ring, leaving behind tattered bits of lacing. Smell; peach and wheat are definitely the most dominant aromas in this. I also detect little yeast, citrus and malts Taste; as with the smell the peaches and wheat sre in the fore, with a bit of yeast, oranges and a light malt backbone. This is nowhere near the top of my wheat beer list, but it would still make for a pretty decent hot weather drink. Mouthfeel is light ot medium bodied, and pretty darn asy to drink.

Bottle. Poured a very golden yellowish color and hazy. Aroma is wheat and some peach. Taset is nasty and not a good beer at all.

Pours a color of....PEACHES. Has an aroma of....PEACH pie. Taste like fresh...PEACHES. Finishes with notes of apricot and...PEACHES. It’s a little bit of a one trick pony not much else going on here but that’s alright because I like....PEACHES. I’d have to say that even though it’s not very complex, it is refreshing. I pronounce this beer to be a,,,,,PEACH! You’ll enjoy this if you like a good lawnmower beer...and... PEACHES!!!!!

Not bad. Much milder then a lambic as far as the peach flavor goes, this is a solid wheat beer with a hint of peach flavor. Not quite as fruity as one mighjt expect, it is still pretty refreshing.
