3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
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.

12oz bottle, overall a good tasting IPA. Slight hoppy aroma, amber pour, small off white head. Well balanced hoppy flavor with malt base. Medium body, good floral citrus hop finish. Good brew, right on style.

Thick-hazed, honey/bronze in color under a thin, whitish head. This has aged a while, but the nose still finds plenty of resiny, piney hops along with lemon, grapefruit and instant tea. Hops are a little more tame in the flavor, but all the aromatic elements can still be tasted and there is a bit of a citric/peppery bite at the end. Surprisingly creamy mouthfeel. Overall refreshing. ~~~~~~~~~~ 12 oz. bottle from Cornfield quite some time ago.

Lightly hazy orange amber with a big fluffy head. Aroma of sweet citrus and doughy malt with a hint of toffee. Flavor is a nice hit pine and citrus bitterness with a nice malt backbone. Medium bodied with a fair bit of carbonation and a satisfying, lasting hops finish. A really good IPA.

Beer pours a beautiful copper color...but oddly no head at all. A faint caramel malty smell with some piney notes. The flavor was a rich huge grainy malt profile with some citrus and pine like hops. Nice thick mouthfeel. I was liking this one.
