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.

Can. Pours orange. Very hoppy and fruity sweet wheaty aroma. Dry hoppy wheaty and malty pleasant flavour. Long lasting dry finish. One of the best canned beers I have ever had.

Can, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph. Pours a wonderful clear red-orange with a small creamy yellow-ish head. Aroma is heavily fruity hoppy - apples, peaches, grapefruit. Low carbonation. Flavour is very hoppy with some biscuit and caramel. Quite bitter, but there is a fruity sweetness behind it. Very nice - I could have liked a little more sparkle in the carbonation.

Can acquired in trade with SpringsLicker (thanks!). Poured a medium and clear amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of pine, citrus and light caramel. Tastes of lighter pine, caramel and citrus.

Clear medium amber. A nice 1cm cover with nice lacing forms on top of the beer. Kinda leathery vastly hopped aroma deviating from orange to earth, from citrus to flowers. Impressively well extracted malts procure a clean biscuity background polished by precise bitter levels. Well rounded palate, balanced, more than fair carbonation.

(Can) Pours a lightly cloudy orange body with a moderate creamy off-white head. Aroma is bursting with orange and grapefruit, along with rich malts. The flavor has a nice of breadiness and hops with a bitter finish. Not your typical APA, or canned beer.

Pours a clear copper bronze with a rocky, dense off-white head with nice lacing. Very fresh hoppy aroma has a mild touch of sweet caramel malt underneath. Body starts with a sweet caramel maltiness turning more bitter toward a crisp and balanced hoppy finish. A nice APA, although, it could honestly be an IPA and from a can nonetheless.

Can... Sparkling clear, golden ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Great retention. Honey, apricot and pine in the nose. Chewy caramel malts, but also moderately bitter. Good balance. Medium-bodied and creamy with fizzy carbonation. Lengthy, well-bittered finish. Thanks to springslicker for the can!
