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.

Pours a clear light copper with a thick head that vanished over time. Aroma was mostly hops and flowers. Flavor was mostly malt and yeast with a very mildly orange and vanilla with a slight bitter finish.

12oz bottle: Appearance hazy amber brown with quick fading white head, aroma hint of hops and malt not very strong, enough hops to be an IPA but an interesting malt taste has almost a bisket tates to it. the style is pretty new to me but doesnt dissapoint.

Bottle at EBF. Golden, small fading head. Toasty aroma, light fruity hops, leaning more on the maltiness. Toasty, sweetish malty flavor, grassy hops, light fruitiness, kiwi at least. Almost medium bodied, fizzy palate.

A clear copper beer with a small whitish head that doesn’t last. Aroma is pretty weak, there’s a little bit of caramel malt and perhaps some spice, but maybe it’s just my imagination. Seriously, there’s not much there. The flavor offers a little bit more, there’s some malt and a bit of spicy hops with the associated bitterness. Feels watery. This brewery makes some great beers, but this ain’t one of them.
