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.

Pours orange amber with a massive white head. Grass hop aroma. Strange hoppy malt flavor. Ok.

This is what I have when I’ve got time to kill in DEN. It’s on tap at the Wolfgang Puck. It pours a watery, fizzy golden-yellow with a thin foam. It is thin to medium. It tastes a bit grassy but with a nice balance of hops and malt.

Amber with a large brown head with particulates floating about. Aroma of hard water, light caramel, bread and mild hops. Taste is very metallic with that leads to a semi-bitter and not very pleasant aftertaste that’s a bit dry. Malted body with notes of caramel balanced out by some mild hops. Next.

12oz bottle. Pours clear, pale amber/copper color, thick creamy eggshell colored head. Aroma of swseet caramel malt with a light citrus hop scent. Flavor is very sweet followed by a sharp hop bitterness. Nicely bittered. Hop flavors linger on the palate. Compairative to 420. cheers

Golden of color with a nice foamy beige head. An aroma with notes of hops, grapefruit, dry grass and a malty notes. A flavor of hops, malt, grass, grapefruit and a nice bitter and dry finish.

love the aroma of this beer. A great mix of hops and roasted malt. Smells of caramel dominate with notes of pine, herbs and dough. Head is fizzy and mostly diminishing and the color is a red/brown. The flavor was a disapointing one dimensionally bitter. I expected sweetness but there really was none. The palate was light to medium and dry, and the carbonation was fizzy. While a very good drinking beer, the flavor could have been a little more complex
