Oskar Blues Dales Pale Ale

Can at Bishops Arms, Vasagatan. Really a very good beer! The color was a bit cloudy orange. Quite large foam that left residue on the glass. Nice aroma with a lot of grapefruit. Beautiful palate with plenty of fruit and a lot of sweetness. Grape, a bit buttery feel and a pleasant taste with a pleasant bitterness. Very refreshing and a great beer to drink.

Tinned, Pasteurised, 355ml courtesy of Casey (Doppelganger). Gold to amber with white head. Simply surprising, a beer in a can that tastes this fresh, it cannot be, not when you have been brought up with the dross that is UK tinned beer. This is bright, freshly hoppy, grassy, orange citric and very pleasant. Dry and refreshing. Many thanks Casey for this and for showing me how a tinned beer could be.

Wow: very sweet malty with a strong bitter hop finish.. too bitter for my taste but an impressive effort.

In my mind, the perfect beer. A nice hoppy bite complemented with a sweet little finish. VERY drinkable, yet quietly complex.

Pours a lightly hazy color which is just a little darker than blonde (golden)... eh I don’t know. The head is big and there is a great lace on this one. The aroma has lost of hops, fruity hops, pineappley hops, orange and citrus hops! The flavor is lots of nice fruity hops with just a mild maltiness, delicious stuff.

Poured pale golden yellow, clean, smooth, malty, hoppy, little caramel, slight citrus

While a good pale ale, there’s something I can’t put my finger on and I am sad to say I really am not a fan of this. Maybe something was up with it on tap, and I might venture to retry and rerate at a later date, but for now I have to say this is one of Osakr Blues beers I dislike.

On draft at redlight redlight. A smooth easy to drink pale ale. Deep golden in color. Bitter citrus in the nose. The flavor goes down easy with a solid malt/hop balance and a slight hop bitterness in the finish. Very refreshing.
