Opa-Opa Steakhouse Honesty 47 Pale Ale

Brewed by Opa-Opa Steakhouse and Brewery
Style: American Pale Ale
Southampton, Massachusetts USA

GBBF 2009. Cask. Clean citric and tropical fruit aroma. A great feminine perfume. Taste doesn’t live up to the perfume - it’s thin and dry, but with a decent lingering bitterness. Overall it disappoints after the promise of the nose. Soap creeps in.

Cask@GBBF. Clear amber color, not much head. Caramelly, some resiny hops in the nose. Pale malty, piney hoppy flavor. Quite balanced malt and hop profile. Enjoyable APA.

From growler: A nice clean, solid pale ale for those of you who enjoy a snappy malt tingle here and there. this pale ale can conquer and destroy all those imitators.

A golden ale with a thin white head. A light caramel malt aroma with kight hopping. In mouth, a grassy malt with light crisp English hops, light citrus, medium bodied. On tap at brewpub, Inbièrenationale IV, May 2007.

My Bottom Line:
Clean cereals propose humble sweetness for the wooden hop flavor and bitterness to balance out. Storyless but well made, this Pale Ale might lack hop flavor and aroma to please some lovers of the style.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A slice of foam decorates the clear orangey blond.
-Passive apricots convey fruitiness to the sweet grain.
-The supporting hop bitterness lingers nicely.
-The nose is not expressive enough to make me feel like diving in.

On tap at the brewpub.

This american ale pours copper in color with a small head. The malt shows on both the nose and the mouthfeel. It also gives a decent finish which shows the bitterness of the hops.

Yellow with a white head, neutral aroma. Light mouthfeel and ABV. Billed to us as an extra pale. Reminded me of some wheats, did not get an expected noticeable bitterness.

Robe blonde très claire surmontée d’une mousse blanche en dentelle qui s’estompe. Arômes légers de malt. Saveurs de caramel et de houblon amérisant terreux.
