Opa-Opa Steakhouse Opa Opa Light

Sampled on tap at the Eastern States Exposition in Wst Springfield, Massachusetts. This may not have been my best introduction to their beers but it is the one I happened to try. It pours straw-yellow with a very thin white head. It has a decent note of malts on the nose and a feeling of cleanliness and the mouthfeel is a creamy texture, better than many lights I have tried. The flavor had a thin veil of hops and the malty aroma does not convey itself into the taste. But on tap, at least it still had a crisp, clean feel to it.

12oz bottle from an Opa-Opa mix pack. Remembered this one from awhile back. Was not that impressed with any of the particular beers in the mix pack. They were all just OK as I remember.

Malt aroma with hints of yeast. Clear golden color with a medium white head. Light beginning with a slight bitter malt finish.

This beer is too light for my taste. It’s color is less than that of Coors Light. The aroma is a light hop sweetness, but this beer doesn’t have much else to offer.

Bottle. Pours pale gold with a loud, bubbly head. Aroma is mildly citric. Flavor is irredeemably weak, and body is thin. I just don’t see the point, Opa Opa. You try to be an honorable brewery, but you put out this stuff? This offering is uninteresting, nearly flavorless, and leaves no impression upon gulping it down.

Appearance: Pours a crystal clear, very light yellow body with a thin ring of white bubbles up top. Smell: Pale malts, sweetish smelling, with some mild floral hints. Taste: Faint pale malts with a light cereal sweetness. Tiny pop of citrus. Floral hops with only the faintest amount of bitterness. Sweetness rebounds and lasts till the finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium-high carbonation. Drinkability: Oops Oops, Opa Opa! Wholly underwhelming, but, then again, we are dealing with a light here.

Pours a very light bright yellow, very low in carbonation. Light lacing. Smells of corn and a tad of hops. First taste is almost flavorless with not much happening. Could greatly use a big shot of scotch
