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.

12 ounce can. What can I say, this is a solid pale ale. Great aroma of American hops with a solid malt backbone. The hops are a little more dominant in the flavor. This is a well made and well balanced beer. I will have to consume copious amounts to make sure that it is really this good.

(out of a can) Pour yellow with a white head. Smells very floral, like spring time. Taste like freshness, with notes of white grape and a yummy, dry and clean honey flavored hop finish. Quite carbonated. This is a very good Pale Ale.

One of the most well rounded American pales I’ve ever had. This should be considered the standard for its class.

Can. Solid pale ale that is pretty heavily hopped...almost in IPA territory. Very balanced beer that is quite sessionable.

I really enjoyed this beer I just really wish it was served in a bottle it is much better from draft.

jjgmd (167) - Coral Springs, Florida, USA - FEB 1, 2012
Pours hazy rusty cooper with a nice frothy head if poured right. Aroma is hoppy and citrusy. Has plenty of flavor and that’s where the is. Well balanced , taste is slight citrus, pine and light and a " thirst quencher" but unlike a lager. Real nice ! Quaff Score ( drinkability with hearty enjoyment ) 8 / 10

Pours a rusty orange with a white head and hoppy aroma. Flavor is well balanced of hops and sweet malts, with grapefruit and pine as well with a nice smooth finish. Great tasting and very drinkable brew.

Pours slightly cloudy amber with a low head. Aroma is fruits and hops. Flavor is malts, fruits and hops. A bit flat but not bad.
