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.

Pours a deep amber with a big off-white head. Big hops, a little sweet and fruit aroma.Flavor is smooth, hoppy and bit of malt. Very good and coming in a can very portable.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a canned beer (except for a 4 pack of Southern Star’s - Pine Belt Pale) but purchased because of the high RB rating. Pours a copper color with off-white head and good lacing. Good floral aorma with hints of citrus fruits. Like the hops with a pleasant aftertaste. This beer is good and it probably one of the few I’d but in a can for hanging out at the pool or taking to events.

nice floral hoppy aroma. smells like an IPA. Cloudy light orange to amber color with a nice two finger white head. Medium mouthfeel with plenty of carbonation. Very bitter aftertaste. This is a great pale ale and is highly recommended.

On draught, clear and golden color with maximum lacing. Citrusy hop aroma with Cascade up front. Light to medium body with lively carbonation. Bitter hops in flavor with a slightly dry finish. Overall a fine Pale Ale.

A: Nice copper red color with a big lasting head. The tiniest of bubbles continually flow to the top sustaining the head. LOTS of lacing is left behind as you drink this one. It really is a pretty brew if you take the time to pour it into a glass. S: It has a nice earthy hop aroma, not at all citrus. I note grass and sweet pine sap. T: Good tasting pale ale that almost leans to the IPA side if you ask me. There is a nice balance between mild malt and piney hops. Has just enough kick and finishes both bitter and sweet. Pretty complex for something that comes in a can. M: Light and smooth.

Can served in an English pint. Hazy honey orange in color. Actually looks like honey. Huge off-white head that holds, then leaves substantial lacing as its tasted. Big nose for a pale ale. Mostly citrus hops, but veg and light malt as well. Light-medium body, slight creaminess, and mild carbonation. Bitter grapefruit flavor, with enough malt to provide a some balance. Plenty of bitterness on the finish as well. Great pale.

Serving: Can Aroma- spicy earthy blend of hops, blends with caramel malty notes. can vessel compromises the power of aroma, perhaps. Appearance- clean copper color, hints of orange. nice presentation when poured into a glass. lingering fluffy white head. Taste- heavy bitterness up front, but maltiness provides balance late. T - Heavy bitterness for a pale, with strong notes of pine and grapefruit. balance from caramel malts does come through somewhat.Finishes slightly dry and with a nice lingering bitterness. Palate- very nice carbonation makes it very drinkable. Overall a very enjoyable pale ale. Serving type: can
