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.

Pours medium gold to medium dark with a decent white head that discipates but lingers around the glass. Clarity is somewhat hazy from the apparent dry hopping. Initial aroma is more malty than expected with a earthy hop bitterness and clean hop aroma. Maybe Chinook for bittering. Taste is surprisingly malty with an assertive bitterness that finishes with a pleasant dry hopped piney resiny aftertaste. Medium bodied with a medium dry finish. A really good APA.

Initial aroma is slightly bitter with an earthy aroma. A nice rich flavor with hints of citrus and molasses. Finish is nice and hoppy but not overpowering. A unique and tasty brew.

A hoppy, delicious Pale Ale. This beer pours a medium golden color with a creamy white head. The aroma is pleasantly sweet and hoppy. The hops are peachy and floral. There’s some malt sweetness, as well. The flavor is hoppy without being overly bitter. They’ve hit a really nice balance with this beer, though it’s definitely hoppy for a pale. There’s a very nice sweet caramel malt backbone. It’s a satisfying and drinkable beer. I’m trying it against Stone’s and definitely prefer this beer. Excellent stuff. I like the cans.

Darker than expected, hoppy and a little floral smell, dry hoppy taste, Finishes witha sticky, almost sweet feeling on the back of my tongue.

Had a pint on tap at Mudville 9. This is a great APA right here. Pours a nice yellow-amber with a medium white head. Aroma of bitter hops a sweet malts. Flavor has a complex bitterness which is slightly offsett by the European malts. Highly drinkable and delicious.

This is probably my favorite beer in a can. Great beer to tailgate with, just keep the stash for yourself and close friends as it is a lot more expensive than that piss water everyone else is drinking.
