Choc Variety Pack - Choc OPA

Choc OPA

Choc beer’s Oklahoma Pale Ale was part of my Choc beer variety pack and my review of it was inevitable. I must say that when it comes to beer, I normally stick to wheat and pilsners. Pale ales are normally too sharp with too much bite, but I am a beer connoisseur that believes that all beers are created equal. That being said, Oklahoma Pale Ale was not my pint of choice.

Appearance: The beer had a lighter color and a bigger head than the American Wheat. The color was still a dark gold but more cloudy.

Smell: The smell was much different than the taste. The aroma had hints of berry or woody scents. The smell was also sharp and bit the senses.

Taste: The taste, like the smell was sharp but not as pleasing. The Oklahoma Pale Ale sinks to the back of the throat and almost curdled. The sharp taste hits the back of the throat and moves forward across the palate. This beer is bitter and though not a personal favorite, my friend Walden thought the beer was sharp but pleasant. He thought it was dry and not overwhelmingly bitter, but enough to make it pop. The beer also seemed to have a bit of acidity. This is definitely not a beer to chug.

Overall: The beer for me left a bad taste in my mouth. Though I didn’t enjoy it as much as my friend Walden; it had its own personality. As the beer warmed a bit, the bite was a little weaker and easier for me to drink. Pale Ale lovers may like this beer, but for me it’s not a first choice.
