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.

taste is a little malty and slightly bitter, but very crisp. not that bad of a pale ale, but not close to being a top quality one either.

Gotta love a beer named after the best cowtown in the world! A dark amber color. Has a aroma and taste that follow pretty close together. A bready maltiness with a nice helping of nuttiness and yeast in there. A sweetness fades quickly into bitterness. The hops come and go in a flash. Interesting little brew. Long live the Mile High City.

Pours a golden amber with a medium white head. Aroma and Taste of biscuit malt, yeast, some fruity citrus notes and some floral citrus hops. Palate is a medium body slightly crisp mouth feel and some good carbonation. Finish is sweet biscuit malt, yeast, fruity citrus notes with some citrus hops on the end for balance with a bit of a nutty ending. Overall a good drinking a solid ale for this style.

Gooney (297) - Portland, Oregon, USA - MAY 20, 2012
On tap - orange with a Rocky white head that clings to the glass. floral hops aroma. Excellent hops and malt balance. Flavor is a teensy bit sweet. Pleasant. This is a solid beer. Worth getting a keg to please the masses and good enough for the snobs.

ExpendableHero (572) - Florida, USA - MAY 19, 2012
Hazy copper/gold beer with a thin, white head. Aromas of faint floral hops, and some unpleasant earthy smells. Tastes better than it smells. Flavors of floral hops, some citrus peel, hints of fresh cut grass, and funky water. A bit bland, as none of the flavors really dominate. Crisp, but forgettable.

tron3000atl (42) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - MAY 18, 2012
Bright orange color. Very bright and slighty malty sweet taste but hops definitely are quite prevalent in this one. Aroma of grapefruit and citrus as i chug it and by the time i finish it too finishes clean and crisp.
