The light straw color is the first indication that this is not going to be one of the more robust offerings from Otter Creek.
This impression is somewhat offset when the aroma has that slight citrus scent associated with heavily hopped brews such as an IPA.
The first taste also contains a definite hint of citrus. There is also a slight bitterness and a tingle in your mouth accompanying the citrus taste as first impressions.
As you continue drinking the bitterness in the aftertaste stays with you as you swallow. Ultimately what you end up with is a brew light in color and light in body, but very hopped.
For all that the beer, as the name implies, does go down easy. It is definitely an enjoyable brew for the warm days of summer. And yes folks it is still summer.
The intent seemed to be to create a simple, light, easily drinkable ale that would not be heavy. Probably one better suited to warmer weather or a night of drinking. Hence the 4.6% alcohol content. But then to pack it full of hops to make it more complex and interesting than a beer with that low alcohol level would normally be.
If that's the case, then mission accomplished. Just seems that the hops overwhelm the light body from a balance perspective.
Still I had no problem drinking it and reaching for another!
I give Over Easy from Otter Creek 5 mugs out of 10.
