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.

Definitely on my top pale ales list. Great aggressive hop bite, amazing drinkability. However, this is definitely a hop heads pale ale. Stays fresh for long in the can.

Pint at New World Ybor. Sticks around hoppy and sour. Might taste a bit stronger than it is which is not a complaint considering it also comes in cans. Quite refreshing outdoors on a hot September evening in Tampa - it steeped nicely!

Best beer in a can I have had so far. This is an inexpensive brew. A full bodied pale ale that you can take with you. Note- I don’t use words like citrus, grapefruit, pesto, or any other similar words to describe beer. If my beer tastes like any of those, I’m dumping it!

Pint @ Rattle n Hum shortly after my 1,000th rating. Tastes of ripe and oily hops. Florals and citrus notes.. Somewhat spicy, but nicely balanced. Maintains a high level of drinkablity while remaining relatively complex.. Very nice!

12 oz. can. Aroma of sweet floral hops, raspberry. Pours the perfect gold with small white head. Tastes of great hops but not overwhelming, refreshing, good pale ale. It’s great to see a beer like this in a can, a better option than your normal crappy beer to take camping, to the game, etc... A part of me actually likes this beer better out of the can, but maybe that’s just psychological.

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.
