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. Pours an amber color with a white head. Aroma is of citrus hops with some malts. Flavor starts malty and finishes moderately bitter with the hops. I like this one alot!

Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is pretty strong of citrus hops with a nice blend of caramel malts. Flavor starts off with the caramel malts but finishes only slight bitter with the citrus and floral hops. Nice blended brew with a decent lingering flavor.

This is one helluva beer! Great earthy hops that are perfectly complemented with the malts. Not overdone. Just right. Yummmmmmm

Thanks SoLan. Poured a little out to look at it, but drank it from the can otherwise. Great pale ale. Classic flavor and out of a can no less. Love it.

12 oz can (Thanks Pawola22). Very full and hoppy aroma for an apa. Tons of bouquet floral and lemony citrus. Medium fruits, pale malt, and caramel malt in there as well. Quite stimulating smells. Light head on the pour, good retention though with no real lacing, medium bodied appearance with a bright yet fairly standard dark golden orange pale color. Definitely at the highest end for full bodied apas. Tons of hops that are slightly out of balanced in the scheme of this beer, but i really can’t complain about the big hop flavors, just not enough on the other side to back it up. It starts off hoppy and only picks up more chewy bitter as it goes. Pale and caramel malts are there, but mainly there is a lot of thick citrusy and earthy bitter, and melon fruits. Finish and linger is sticky and quite pleasant. I enjoyed this big full flavored apa as there’s alotta good things going on here. I’m liking how this brewery is thinking.

Can. Pours a clear golden-amber. Huge, fluffy tan head. Great lacing too. Aroma was of faint citrus. Flavor starts out very sweet and smooth. Ends with nice slight hoppy bitterness that lasts. Very thick and creamy mouthfeel. Good APA...

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.
