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.

Absolutely delicious beer in a can! Im so glad to see this in Wisc. Pours a vibrant orange colour with a nice full white head. Aroma is citrus with bright fruit, floral notes throughout the beer. and plenty of carbonation to keep this beer bubbling for a while. A winner from OB!

Amber colored to almost red in color with nice foamy head. The smell wafts into our nose with hops, grass, malt. Good balance there. Smooth crisp taste. Superb feel at the back of the mouth.

Clear amber with a tight head. Nice aroma is caramel and mild piney hops. Medium body. Hop forward bitter flavora are grapefruit and pine sap with a smooth, sweet maltiness to balance.

deep amber pour with a thin white head up top. citrusy hop scent on the nose that is real promising. wow that’s incredibly smoother than i was expecting. the hops are just as smooth in the flavor. i can say that i’m pretty happy that we get this in tx now.

It’s . . . it’s from a can, and it doesnt suck. It’s an American beer from a can, and it doesn’t suck. My world no longer makes sense. Pours out a deep copper, absolutely stunning head, very thick and creamy, stays around for a simply amazing amount of time. Nose quite hoppy, some pine resin there and citrius. Flavor rather good, initial hoppy bit followed by some sweet malts, though not as sweet as it could be. Certainly can’t fault it for mouthfeel, extremely full and creamy. Looks and feels beautiful, smells good, tastes good. Quite nice.

Can (hell yeah). Pours golden orange with a tight, rocky white head. It has a very smooth hop aroma with some pine and earth. The flavor is a little bitter with a zesty bite and a pine-sap like finish. It gets just a little bit sweet as I drink more. Decent balance.

Pours a cloudy orange with a thick tan head. Big malt aroma with a decent blast of hops. Big malty taste followed by some candy/caramel notes with a big hop finish. Moderate amount of citrus. Lightly metallica but that’s okay. This is a damn fine beer in a can.

Translucent, magnifying and polished brass in color with a booming, dense, frothy orange cream head reaching one-inch high in the tulip. Meringue and sugar crusted orange cereal begin the aromatic sequence, followed by a sweet rustic c-hop agenda, orange-pina-grapefruit smoothies and puce sugar cane. The puce hoppiness bears the brunt of a piney-nectar flavor infatuation while harvesting ruby red grapefruit that’s two days past its prime. Buttery substitute slides down orange blossom muffins, with a top crusted with rock candi sugar and hop soot. Oily, bitter pricks and a hint of steel as it fades. The caramel toffee tune-up gives it a husky dominion. Spicy orange toffee, tropical oatmeal and livening bitter sweet hop derivatives bring us to a close.
