O'Fallon Wheat

O'Fallon Wheat Wine Details
Price:

Description: A fresh, clean-tasting American Wheat Beer....brewed with white wheat, two varieties of domestic barley, two kinds of hops and our Kolsch yeast. It's not filtered, so there's a trace of the yeast in the beer for a smooth, full-bodied, velvety texture and a creamy head. This easy-to-drink beer won the Bronze Medal for American Hefeweizen at the 2005 Great American Beer Festival®.

Varietal Definition
Wheat Ale:
As the name would suggest these are ales that use a proportion of wheat in the mash to add a protein haze. Wheat ales, inspired by the German weizen tradition were popular before prohibition in the US and are enjoying a resurgence in popularity. This generic category encapsulates the diverse interpretation of the classic German Weizen styles brewed in America and elsewhere.
