OFallon 5-Day IPA

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

Serve in Shaker, Tulip

12 oz bottle from Hy-Vee - Nice floral hops aroma. White head, but quickly goes away. Orange with red hues. Finish is a bit too light and abrupt for my taste in an IPA. Overall not bad.

12oz screwtop bottle. Picked this up while traveling as it is not available anywhere near where I live. Pretty good IPA though nothing spectacular. I may have not had the freshest bottle. The label says that it was voted best IPA in St Louis. If so, I probably won’t be drinking alot of St Louis IPAs any time soon.

Bottle thanks to drfabulous. Pours cloudy apricot with white head. nose is mostly citrus. Taste is lovely citrus followed by caramel malts and a light pine dry hop throughout. Good beer.

On tap at 12th South Tap Room. Pretty dark color for an IPA. Big malt presence and sweetness up front. I was hoping for a little more complexity in the malts. It’s just big and in your face lacking any sort of finesse. Hops are gentle for a 5 day IPA. One and done for me. No need to drink this again with so many superior IPAs out there.

Enjoyable with bright citrus notes and light bitterness. A very approachable IPA that is light on the imperial scale. Aroma is sour and honestly the worst part of this one...perhaps it was the 6-pack i purchased, but it had a slightly sour and skunk to it that reminded me of a heineken. Taste was quite nice, smooth, and refreshing.

Bottle at Old Chicago in Peoria, IL - backlog from Jan 2010. Pours amber with a white head. Aroma of dank hops and ale esters. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavor of pale malts and citrus rind hops. Finishes dry with some isovaleric acid. Perhaps the bottle was old, but this just tasted cheap. We now get this in nashville and I have no desire to try this again.

Bottle from Party Source. No date stamp!! Please date stamp dry hopped beers!! This is a pretty looking brew, super cloudy orange with a white head. The aroma is fairly hoppy, not extreme. My perception seems to be in line with other ratings. Floral and lemony notes make up the nose with doughy malts. Flavor has a good amount hop zest, but I’d like more. Gentle citrus bitterness melds with doughy, honey-like sweetness. A faint grassiness is here. Highly drinkable brew. Not bad.

12oz bottle from The Wine and Cheese Place. Pours a cloudy golden orange with a small off white head. Some citrus notes with cereal grain and lightly roasted malts. ok.
