Heavily carbonated Bavarian wheat ale with recessive honey flavoring fading to light wheat-grained backdrop. Soda-like fizz overwhelms dainty yellow-fruited finish suitable for novices. Brewery defunct: 2007.

OASIS PALE ALE
Peppy and hoppy with fresh Rocky Mountain water as its ace in the hole. Spicy-hopped auburn-hued dry body combines fruited malts and mineral grains in straightforward manner. Though lacking specificity and finishing soapy, it gains extra points for being simplistically efficient.
O’DOUL’S PREMIUM BEER
Soft white-headed clear-toned dry-bodied musty-hopped non-alcoholic ‘malt beverage’ has bright, sunny disposition and ultra light resolution. Spry hop perk disguises lack of grain bite and true grit, yet crystal water crispness, polite bitterness, and lemon freshness appeals to tolerant lightweights.
OKOCIM PORTER STOUT
Supposedly the first Polish brew ever made, ruddy Baltic stout retains spongy lactic froth, chewy mocha-chocolate creaminess, and bruised citric trace to lingering bitter coffee finish. Well-rounded, thick, and quite soothing considering blatant 8.1% alcohol content. Serve to English porter fans then barleywine lovers as refreshing changeup.
(WHIM ALES) OLD IZAAK TRADITIONAL ENGLISH ALE
ORCHARD STREET PORTER
London-styled smoked porter nestles dry chocolate nose next to freeze-dried coffee mouthfeel before sticky yeast syrup and smoked malt thickness engage chalky mocha finish.
OSKAR BLUES TEN FIDY IMPERIAL STOUT
A true first! A metal-canned Imperial Stout with all the expectant viscous tar-like thickness and hefty 10% alcohol intensity needed to please connoisseurs. Reminiscent of molasses-sapped milkshake on sweet side and burnt espresso on bitter end, tan-headed mahogany-hued full body latently drops tobacco chew, sticky anise, and cocoa powder illusions atop charcoal-smoked flaked oats.
OTTER CREEK VERMONT LAGER
Euro-styled golden lager submits spice-hopped grain stimulus and brisk lemon rind tang to light breaded bottom. Engaging piney wood tone buffers citric zest.
OTTO’S RED MO ALE
Peculiar red ale brings honey-malted candied apple sweetness to orange-dried grassy-hopped vegetal astringency. Brown ale-like backdrop contrasts sweet hazelnut against dry walnut, but deeper fruited penetration needed.
PAPER CITY IRELAND PARISH GOLDEN ALE
Relegated fruited malt tang slowly dissolves as countering piney hop uprising embitters backend. But sterile finish needs better grain insistence and sharper citric bite.
PAULANER THOMAS BRAU
Worthy of a few sips despite petty 0.5% alcohol range and unobtrusive nature. Clear-toned, malt-toasted, daintily barley-tinged pale amber with sugary backdrop too slight to dent charts. Stale bread finish lowers appeal.
PENN WEIZEN
Obvious banana-clove surge retains herbal fragrance and lemony mandarin orange crisping to smoked wheat backbone for viscous copper-hazed German knockoff. Soured grapefruit-peach tartness and peppery cinnamon-spearmint spicing bring hard-candied inertia to watered down finish.
