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.

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.

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.

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.
