Peachy Keen
Close your eyes. Well, first open a bottle of Wheach beer and aggressively pour half of it straight down the middle of a tall glass. Notice how the fizzy head quickly dissipates? Don't smell it yet. Notice how the cloudy, pale hue sort of matches the goofy Pac-Man-ish drawing of a peach on the label? Now close your eyes, hold the glass close to your nose and breathe in deeply, like you would with [fill in your favorite scent here]. Did you get a noseful of canned peaches? Maybe a hint of apricot? Wheach – a peach wheat beer – is the perennial summer offering from the O'Fallon Brewery, that quaint micro-microbrewery known for quirky flavors like Cherry Chocolate and Pumpkin Ale. Now taste. It's like a biting into a summer peach so ripe that the juice drips down your chin. Only with lots of spritz and zing dancing on the tongue. But wait, there's some nice yeasty wheatiness peeking from behind that peach tree. Crisp and refreshing on a hot summer day and a great change of pace. Go ahead, have another … fruit is good for you! Sauce pick: Wheach beer from O'Fallon Brewery Price: about $8.00 for a six-pack Where to get it: Most St. Louis grocery and liquor stores Info: www.ofallonbrewery.com |
