Commercial Description:
Brewed with hefty amounts of European malts and four kinds of American hops, it delivers a blast of hop aromas, a rich middle of malt and hops, and a thrilling finish. It weighs in at 6.5 % alcohol by volume. Why squeeze such a big brew into a little can? Because we think fun in the great outdoors calls for great beer. Our cans go where bottled beers can't, where flavorless canned beers don't belong. And no matter where you drink Dale's Pale Ale, our can protect it from light and oxidation far better than bottles do.

Northern Brewer for bittering, Cascade and Columbus for flavor, and a big, post-boil addition of Centennial for aroma.

Can, 12 fl. oz. Pours a ambercolored beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is hoppy (citrus from cascadehops). The flavor is heavy on the hops, but has a good balance. The palate is refreshing and citrus. Overall a good pale ale.

Pours a deep orange with a nice white head. Smells of citrus, light pine, and some faint caramel. The taste is nicely mild with decent hops present. Tastey citrus with pine showing nicely against a malty and grainy background. Finishes bitter and refreshing. Real good APA.

12 oz can. Citrus/floral aroma over light caramel maltiness. Clear orange golden with moderate frothy white head. Citrus orange and grapefruit hop flavor with moderate caramel grainy maltiness to support. Finish is medium with a moderate fruity citrus bitterness lingering.

12 oz can. Pours deep orange with a HUGE off-white head. Strong hoppy aroma. Flavor was a little bitter that stuck with you ’til the next drink. Not bad.

2008 Can - Pours a dark orange with a large off white head...aroma is sweet and hoppy...flavour is piney and smooth, with a caramel finish and an astringent bittrness that lingers...mouthfeel was pretty bad, coats like dairy with little if any carbonation...also had a metallic quality that had little to do with the can, but still easy drinking and enjoyable...
