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.

4/18/09 at Hops & Props, Seattle, Wa. Aroma is sweet caramel malt with a light citrus note. Appearance is slightly hazy orange with a well maintained white head. Flavor is sweet/sour malt forward with a melon hop character and and sour finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a medium carb texture and light tang. Overall, very easy drinking.

Local fav, but boy how they have grown lately. Big and beefy. Super malty, caramel, hop spice on the nose. Same on the palate. Very repectable, but not as good as it used to be.

Rotating tap offering. $3.50 Pint ($2 happy hour) Worth every penny. Dale’s is a great American Pale. Appearance is a bit cloudy with a nice fluffy head. Took a few ounces out of the pint but again, woth every penny. Smell is big bold hops. Pine and citrus dominate. Mouth is slghtly sticky and some malty sweetness. The same hop profiles round out the ballance. Drinkability is, for me good. A little drier finish would make this perfect. I will drink one per session until the tap is dry. Thats for sure.

Minimal head, but what was there was tan and sticky... atop a golden brown colored slightly hazy body. Aroma is very sweet and malty with a major dose of fruity citrusy hops. Flavors were very full-bodied and malty, with a huge burst of spicy, earthy, fruity hops. Pretty damn good stuff, I love that it comes it cans--makes it easy to bring some along when hiking!

Pours a lacing off-white, almost beige, head with a golden amber body. Smells of citrus and spice hops with a mild sweetness. Tastes of spicy and citrus hops. Honey and bitter finish.

Pours a reddish amber with a large light brown head with pretty good staying power. This beer really grew on me. The first can was OK, but by the end of the sixer I was in love. It has a faint sweet, hoppy aroma and a very bold, full body. Nectar like, with lower than usual carbonation for the style. The flavor is sweet caramel that gradually fades to tropical and citrus fruits, then turns grassy and bitter in the end. Very well balanced and unique. Reminds me a little of Three Floyds Alpha King.

Pours a clear copper color with a small white head that lasts, and leaves decent lacing. Aroma is sticky and sweet with floral, citrusy hops. Taste is some caramel and grapefruit. Very drinkable. Good beer, thought it could be hoppier.

12oz can. Possibly one of the best beers I have tasted out of a can. It was a little on the sweet side for my tastes to rate it as high as everyone else here seems to be doing. Still very good. I look forward to using this as my beer of choice this summer at festivals that do not allow bottles.
