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.

Copper color......thick, fluffy head. Very balanced, floral aroma. Mild malt flavor in the front, which is quickly enhanced by a much more powerful hop taste. Somewhat smooth mouthfeel, with just a hint of crispness......finishes with a long bitterness.

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.

I poured this chilled from a bottle. There is virtually no head and little aroma. Mostly that of coriander seeds, pleasant but slight. A lovely golden color golden, crystal clear with delicate carbonation. It really quit gorgeous except for the lack of head. The flavor is nice surprise, Its well balanced; slight sweet out of gate followed immediately by a pleasant bitterness. The mouth feel is a little light but still nice and it has a nice finish. I think the new recipe worth trying.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden amber with a big white head. Fruity aroma with some citric notes. Flavour is hoppy and bitter with a long bitter aftertaste.

Sample at EBF Copenhagen. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are fruits, flowers and hops.
