Oskar Blues Dales Pale Ale

Brewed by Oskar Blues Grill & Brew
Style: American Pale Ale
Lyons, Colorado USA

Bright orange amber in color with a small off-white head. Aroma is of flowers, hops, and carmel. Taste is hoppy with some caramel.

Hoppy aroma, some spice, citrus, some herbal almost basil. Pours a rich amber. Very good hop flavor, nice balance. Some spicy hops, a little bit of citrus, some caramel, a clean hop finish. very nice and very drinkable! So glad Oskar Blues made it to Florida!

Bright clearish orange. Soft starchy topping of off-white lumpy foam adorns the crown with steady staying power and levels off leaving tall hills along the sides as it collars. Patchy, big blotchy lacing sticks all over the place. Nice looking ale! Dullish pale pine and old orange skins poof up the air quite well along with partially toastyness and grapefruit scraps. Big taster with tenderly paled and toasted malt making its way across the palate quickly, letting you know you’re drinking something with some guts to it. Slender pine sap and soft eager dryness floats about while touching and flinting notes of all kinds of wonderful hop notes of grapefruit pith, lemon and orange peel, and resiny pine oils. Broad and lasting with a remarkablely easy finish within its dryness and bitterness. Holds a very high standard to what a solid Pale Ale ought to be like. Solid, affectionate body of medium/fullish girth. Loads of malt toasting and pale-izing things up with a crunchy edge of bite and carbonation allowing the finish to sneak by with an ease of slightly parching hoppy bitterness and citric pithy, peel, oilyness. Toasted dryness returns and has a nice complexing tone in the finish mixing with the citrus notes; which lasts impressionably well. A solid Pale; and in a can even!? Nice...

Nice, fresh hop taste. Easily one of the best beers I’ve had out of a can. Great lacing and color. Good beer.

Had on tap at Coles. Nose is malty, with some citrus hops in the background but not too much. flavor has more hops in there but its more bittering then citrus, well balanced, nice pale ale.

12 oz can. Clear orange, no bubbles. Frothy off-white head that holds on. Green grass, hay and sweet citrus. Bitter hops turn sweet and chewy. Citrus notes with woody pine. A little carb adds some bite. Medium light and very drinkable. A cross between Nugget Nectar and Alpha King.

I love all the beers from this brewery, but this is my favorite. It has a nice bit of hop on the nose and a very balanced taste. It is a hoppy beer, but not so much that I cringe with every sip. Pours out of the can with a good head and beautiful color. Just writing this review makes we want to open up another one.

12oz can. Dark copper with a good head. Hoppy aroma with some pine and citrus. Sweet, caramel laden flavor, with minty and piney hops. Medium bodied. For this amount of alcohol, some more hops would be good, but for a pale, this works out alright. This base could yield a great IPA with more hops though... well, maybe its still a little too sweet.
