Purchased at the Glenway Crossing Remke/Biggs - Although I found the body to be a bit lacking, this is a good IPA.

20070708 12oz bottle, trade from theisti. Dark copper-golden color with sturdy beige head of large bubbles. Unfiltered, or at least cloudy. Caramel and waffle notes blended nicely with fruity yeast and citrus hops. Background honey and floral hints. Flavor is simple up front, sweet and malty, notes of belgian waffle (belgian waffle?) and simple syrup before good resinous pop of cascade goodness. Mildly unctuous at the end, lingering citrus (grapefruit) pithiness after finish. Nice stuff that holds its own in a crowded morass of micro-brewed IPAs.

Pours a dark amber color with a thick off white head. Great Caramel malt, Piney hop aroma.Nice citrus-piney flavor with a nice balance of malt backing. Body is a tic thin though.The hop flavor seems to hang out in you mouth for awhile.Great bitter finish.

Pours red with a tan head. Aroma is all hops. The taste has a surprising ammount of maltiness. The hops show at the edn of the sip. Very drinkable.

Wow. I was really impressed by this. I had no expectations whatsoever, as I have never really enjoyed the other O’Fallon beers I have had. However, this was a nice piney, resiny, citrusy IPA that, to me, exemplified the style. My only complaint is that the finish was short and the mouthfeel was a tad thin. Granted, I had this right after an Alpha King. Of course, that is also one of the reasons that I think that this beer deserves some attention. I expected it to be blown away by the AK, and I found that it had enough backbone to hold its own. Well played sirs.

On firkin on a recent visit to St. Louis. Pours murky light amber color with marshmellow head. Aroma is dank bitter hops with a touch of citrus. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor was somewhat bitter, citrus and dank. Has a pretty good malt backbone. Overall not a bad brew. I thought it would have been more bitter.

This was a great IPA. Light copper in pour with a nice big white foamy head. The aroma is very hop filled with a bit of citrus. Semi-sweet citrus and hops in the flavor with a nice bitter bite to it.

On tap in St Louis. Nice golden pour, with a white head, lots of lacing. Bountiful citrus aromas. Taste is mildly sweet with some bitterness on the back end. Dry finish. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with this one. Good blend of malts and hops. Would definitely have again.
