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.

Draught at Oliver twist, Stockholm. pours out in a clear amber colour with a rich creamy white foam. Nice grapefruity hop aroma with touches of flowers, honey, all-spice and caramel. dryish hoppy flavour of grapefruit and lemon-rind with subtle notes of caramel. Bitter grapefruity finish. A hoppy and tasty take of the style.

Pours with a nice and thick, off-white head covering a slightly chill hazed golden-brown body. Really good lacing and retention on the head. Aroma is fruity, with hops and some brown sugar. Taste is one-dimensionally bitter with a metallicy note. Mouthfeel is syrupy and a good level of carbonation.

Pours a clear copper color with a thick offwhite head. Good aroma of spicy hops and toasted malt. Good flavor of spicy, resinous hops with toasted malt and a lingering bitter finish. The body is light to medium with a creamy texture and moderate carbonation.

Thanks to Homerwants beer for sharing a couple cans. This brew is an orange-amber color with a medium thin off-white head that dissipates quickly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops and citrus along with a touch of malt. Medium body with flavors of floral hops, fresh citrus and clean malt. The finish is moderately bitter hops that linger for awhile atop a decent malt base. A good straightforward APA overall.

Cloudy orange body topped by an initially large white head. Rich body full of tasty hops. Succulent crisp caramel and delicious citrusy hops offering more flavours than mere bitterness. Resinous and a bit oily. This is a superior pale ale. One of the finest thirst quencher pale ale I’ve had, one I could drink on a daily. The best think to come out of a small can since Heinz Beans. Sadly, I actually mean it.

Zesty orange hops aroma, good amount of malt also, copper, pours two fingers of rocky, custard foam head, lot’s of lace too. Chewy hops start, pleanty of malt to even things out. Very well balanced, splendidly bitter. Really fine example! This delightful beer is served on one of the smaller American Airlines, lucky bast#^&%!

This is really quite impressive, I’ve never poured anything out of a can that looked so nice. Pours a copper/amber with a tall off-white head that leaves thick lacing. Tons of citrus hops create an aromatic halo around this brew. Taste starts with just a flinch of sweetness up front being chased by a big ol citrus hop finish thats rather bitter and nice. A great APA (really hoppy enough to be an IPA), now maybe you guys can make the big 24oz cans of this!
