| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 26, 2009 Oskar Blues Dale’s Pale Ale is a cloudy, light amber ale with a soft, fluffy, yellow-white head that has excellent retention and lacing. It has a huge, hoppy aroma that’s floral and grassy; a little sweet with a note of lemon or lemongrass. It has a smooth medium body with a crisp finish. he hops leave the tongue a little scratchy. here’s prenty of bitter, fruity, grassy hop flavor. There’s a peppery alcohol flavor at the finish. It’s on the powerful end of the session ale spectrum. If I would’ve tasted this ten years ago, I would’ve called it an IPA. redsox8945 (1), Chicopee, Massachusetts, USA does not count | 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 26, 2009 Tasted this because of high ratings. Big aroma consisting of citrus and herbs, pours clear and copper into a pilsner glass. Very bitter first taste, sour as well. Taste remains the same. Nice texture, very lively carbonation. Bitter finish. Not my kind of beer, but I can see why others could appreciate it. andersand (384), Malmö, Sweden
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Dec 21, 2009 Amber coloured with a rocky off-white head. Aroma is caramell and citrus, light perfumey and sweet hops. Flavour is huge on the caramell aspect with some nice countering citric and bitter hops, lightly piney and flowery with the malt being the dominant factor though. Rather full bodied and sticky for the style, solid. johnnysmoke (59), Texas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 18, 2009 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. StinkBall (76), Asheville, USA

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. cmonster (114), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 6, 2009 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.
