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.

Not too bad. Has a nice brown color with a little head. smells mainly of malts. Very light hints of hops. Has a smooth malt flavor. Overall this is a weak brew.

Nice orangey copper color with a rather big head. Aroma is of sprucey piney hops. Taste is kinda eh. Quite a bitter metallic funk in the end thats not good for anyone.

here’s the clicker, no one will blame ya - change the channel on this beer ... smells of a cereal box .. . lots of foam without a purpose .. . intensely bland!!! .. . not really enjoyable .. muddled and garbled, like a major cleft lip talking into a shell while chewing on cellulose .. .

WAYYY too much CO2...couldn’t even pour it into a glass. Good flavor but would not buy again b/c of the foam.

Yet another OK pale ale. What is this, a conspiracy? I thought I’d break the strong with a Great Divide, but this was only so so.

Sampled at the GD tasting at Blacklick Wine and Spirits on 3.26.09. Clear copper color with a medium off-white head. Hop aroma up front with some mild fruit and a bit of malt. Crisp hop flavor that is a bit subdued, with some malt on the back end. Not a big beer by any means, but very well balanced and could make for a good session beer.

A golden ale with a thin white head. A light hopped malt aroma. In mouth, a crisp malt with nice c-hops. Medium bodied. On tap at brewery, 24 Jan. 2009.

Sampled over the last summer in Denver. Not a bad brew. Quality of the hops are very good. Drinks smooth and has very little bite on the after taste. A good brew.
