Unfiltered Wheat
O'Fallon Brewery

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This beer is a clear, pale gold with spritzy bubbling activity. A wisp of white head fades quickly and leaves little behind by way of either foam or lacing. A completely clear unfiltered beer? Uh-oh.
The aroma gives some wheat, a bit of malt, and maybe a hint of leafy hops bitterness.
The flavor is very dull, with some dry malts under the wheat but such a light hops presence that it blends into a bland sort of sourness.
This beer is very light withg a crisp bite. There's no smoothness to balance, no real depth, and there's a somewhat unpleasant slickness.
I've liked O'Fallon since I took a chance on them when they first starting popping up in the area, and was very pleasantly surprised. This was a big disappointment for me.

Six-pack purchased from a grocery in Mobile, AL.

Pours a hazy golden color with a white head leaving light lacing.

Smells of sweet malts with very slight amounts of wheat and floral hops.

Tastes OK. Sweet pale malts up front with light wheat influences joining in shortly thereafter. Small amounts of earthy hops temper the sweetness a little, carrying through to a mildly sweet ending. Mouthfeel is good, with decent carbonation.

Overall I was disappointed with this beer, it was entirely too sweet and the wheat didn’t do enough to even things out.

12 oz. bottle tried 7 Sep 2010. Poured in the Paulaner wheat glass.

Medium yellowish white fluffy head. Cloudy straw yellow, moderate carbonation. Aromas of wheat, earthiness, a touch of citrus. Beer is bready and yeasty. Lots of chewy wheat. Lightly lemony throughout the finish and aftertaste. Medium body, alcohol is light.

Pretty straightforward.

Poured from 12 oz bottle, brought back from the States.
Straw yellow color, slightly hazy as expected from an unfiltered wheat. Short but solid white head, thin yet long lasting foam. Smell is slightly yeasty, with a bit of lemon citrus.
Taste is quite light, some bready malt, wheat flavor. Nice citrus freshness at the end. Light but clean flavor, crisp finish. Light and thin mouthfeel, appropriate for the style. Very drinkable, could easily enjoy a few on a hot summer day. Refreshing with enough bite to cleanse the palate when served with food.
Nothing spectacular, but a very good beer.

A: Poured this wheat bear into a Weizen Glass and watched the eggshell white head rise aggressively about two inches with big bubbles at the bottom and fine frothy foam at the top of the head.
S: Smells pretty good with a strong note of honey and yeast, small hint of alcohol present towards the end of the smell. Smells refreshing.
T: Not too much taste here actually has a sorta tinny aftertaste? Wired from a bottle.. Hoppy and not much wheat present. Dry.
M: Very flat, watery and dry.
D: if you want to pound em it will go down like water, and taste like it too! Wont be trying this one again; actually dumping this one down the drain.

This one pours a hazy golden color from a 12 oz. bottle. There was a small white head that dissipated quickly.

The smell is dominantly wheat and a little sweet.

The taste is more of the same, but noticably watery. Really thin mouthfeel, but super easy to drink.

Poured from 12 ounce bottle

Appearance- Straw yellow hazy color of a unfiltered wheat. Light white head retention.

Smell - Very faint. Slight lemon and a little yeasty.

Taste- Very light taste. I enjoyed the middle taste of the beer which had a nice bready note. The beer definitely has a one note taste to it. I really enjoy the note so the beer is enjoyable for me. Had a very clean, crisp finish.

Mouthfeel- Very light. Common for the style.

Drinkability- Very high. Could easily down a couple of this on a hot summer day.

Overall- Though the smell is faint and there are other better tasting wheats out there, It's a nice easy drinking wheat and I definitely will seek it out especially in the spring and summer.

Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a standard pint glass
Hazy, butterscotch in color, with a thin, quickly fading head of foam
Aroma-Faint wheat, lemon zest
Taste-Lemon zest, faint citrus(orange?), light bodied, rather clean finish.
Overall, middle-of-the-road wheat, but pretty easy drinking and refreshing on a hot day.

12 oz bottle. Has a Julian date inked near the neck. In case you forget what kind of beer this is, the labels are a golden wheat color, and there is wheat printed all over the main and neck labels. Also, an inset drawing on the main label shows a farmer looking at his wheat crop.

Pours a fairly clear light golden, wheaty yellow. Decent head. Smell is "green" and a bit perfumy. Taste is a little sour, some lively malts also come into play. Finishes (too) thick and syrupy. A pleasant aftertaste occurs for a while. Carbonated well. Drinks nicely, but would be best as a dessert beer, imo.

I'm going to go ahead and preface this by saying that the bottle I just opened is from February of 2006. It has O'Fallon's older labeling and is quite faded. We recently found a six pack behind a lot of other stuff in one of the coolers at work. So, the age and how it's held up have been considered in my ratings. It poured very smoothly with barely any head, which did lace the glass. It is pretty clear, as I didn't mess with the sediment on the bottom, and is a golden yellow in color. It smells pretty good. It's yeasty without seeming flat or overly yeasty. It's solid. It tastes great considering it's so old. It has a good yeasty flavor and is slightly sweet. The mouthfeel is actually quite crisp and refreshing. I think I would find a new six pack of this very refreshing and a pretty solid wheat.

Well this unfiltered wheat beer is nice but not especially noteworthy. It had a nice head which disappeared after a bit. The aroma wasn't especially noteworthy but smelled a bit like wheat, with a touch of honey. The taste was nice, a sweet brew with a hint of citrus, wheat, a touch of spices and more than a bit of honey. There was no bitterness at all. It sits very nice in the mouth and is very drinkable.

received as an extra in a trade.

Love wheat beers, as a disclaimer up-front.

A- hazy pale gold. Next to no head.

N - Lots of malts and some spices. But no hops at all.

T- bland. Almost no taste at all, which is rare for my experience with this style of beer.

M- Love wheat beers so like it. For the sytel has a good mothfeel. Not over the top, but not too light.

D- has no tatse so could take this via an IV with no problem...however, wouldn't given the lack of flavor....

Appearance: Pours a crystal clear, yellow body with a thin, white head. Taking an inquisitive peek down into the bottle, I could make out no traces of yeast (viable or otherwise) stubbornly hiding at the bottom.

Smell: Mild nose of lightly malted barley and wheat with some slight honeyish undertones and some background floral hop notes.

Taste: Light pale maltiness with a small supporting touch of wheat. Light honeylike sweetness. Hint of lemon. Floral hops with no more than a very, very low amount of bitterness. Finishes clean and quick, perhaps a bit too clean and quick, making for an empty ending.

Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation.

Drinkability: Too light and lacking for me, leaving it a pretty unremarkable brew. If this is purportedly unfiltered, imagine what the filtered version would be like! Good grief.
