Commercial Description:
DPA has risen to become one of the most award-winning English-style pale ales in the world. Sporting a brilliant copper hue and an assertive floral hop aroma, DPA is known for its smooth, malty middle, which is expertly complemented with hearty and complex hop flavor. DPA's extraordinary hop finish is marked by crisp yet moderate hop bitterness.

Typical pale ale, with a lighter body, slight malty sweetness and dryness, with a mild hop assertiveness. It was crisp, clean, and finished quick. Very drinkable, but nothing stands out to me.

One finger off white bubbly head; head diminished, but still present. A light orange amber color. Fairly weak aroma; I would have liked a stronger hop aroma. The hop profile that is there is decent. Not a ton of bitterness, but quite a bit, it’s just not balanced well. I see where theyre trying to go, but it seems a poor attempt at an EPA. I’ll admit though, it grew on me as I progressed through it. A little sweetness, but the hops cover it up. A fairly long bitter finish as I would hope, with some nice fruitiness, but it’s lacking balance.

Light copper colored with a medium sized, fizzy head. Mild aroma of sweet malt and hops. Flavor is a nice bit of flowery hops up front with enough malty sweetness to balance it. Very nice.

Some herbal hops in the aroma. Smooth caramel maltiness in the body with a fruity hop finish.

I thought this to be a fine beer on draft at Twizt in Charleston. Poured copper and had a prominent smell of hops although it didnt come through and over power the good pale ale taste into an ipa.

Bottle. Sweet toffee malt aroma. Medium amber with small head. Mildly sweet caramel malt and moderate pine hops flavor - great tasting EPA, very nicely blended.

For a pale ale, this had a surprisingly hoppy feeling. Not as much as their IPA, but more than some pales where the hops are barely noticeable.
