Commercial Description:
DPA has risen to become one of the most award-winning English-style pale ales in the world. Sporting a brilliant copper hue and an assertive floral hop aroma, DPA is known for its smooth, malty middle, which is expertly complemented with hearty and complex hop flavor. DPA's extraordinary hop finish is marked by crisp yet moderate hop bitterness.

Thanks Bottletrek! Pours orange with a small frothy white head. Nice sweet malty and fresh hop aroma, some pineapple. Flavor is very mellow compared to the aroma. Lightly sweet malts and quite bitter on the finish. Very straight forward pale ale. Grapefruit. Thin body with decent carbonation, pretty watery but still crisp like a miller lite. This is like a light beer with actually flavor, very drinkable. This is great introduction beer for your miller lite drinking friends...as if you’d have friends like that ;)

Pours a very light apple juice golden with a consistent head. Aroma is of some yeast, apples, and hop resin. Light, watery mouthfeel. Taste is of simple bready dry malt with a bittering finish. At 5.4% this is a good session. Simple but pleasing – and it deserves a higher rating.

Bottle. Pours amber with a white head. Herbal aroma, tea and caramel. Well balanced flavor, with herbal hops and caramel malt. Nice.

Orange amber color. Thick white frothy head. Sugary and flowery hop aroma. Slightly malty taste. Kinda thin mouthfeel. Flowery and piny tastes combine. Taste well-balanced over all.

My DPA was very carbonated, pours golden amber with a bubbly white head. Floral hops with a malt backbone. The malt kicks in with the hops being noticeably present as it goes down smooth.
