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.

Can. Orange/amber pour with thin white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is dominated by pine resin and sweet malt. Taste is bitter up front with more pine and some citrus flavors. Nice maltiness as well, but the hops dominate. Medium mouthfeel with bitter finish. Very good beer.

I had this on tap at the Falling Rock. Hazy amber in color with a nice rocky white head. Smell is a little floral hops. The taste was not as hoppy as I remembered in the past. It was still very good with a very nice caramel malt taste.This is a very good beer. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 04-30-2007 19:14:30

Don’t let the can fool you! This is a quality beer. Pours very hazy amber with a bubbly white head and some lacing. Fresh, crisp aroma with some citrus and pine and a hint of yeast. Very refreshing taste with an excellent balance of grapefruit, citrus, clove and hops. Finish is refined and pleasing not to mention long lasting. Outstanding beer and my new favorite APA.

My first craft beer in a can. Poured from a 12oz can into a pint glass. The color is a slightly hazy orange with about a finger of white head and some nice lacing. The smell is hoppy with a nice citrus flavor and a surprising pineapple smell. Also has a bit of a bready, malt flavor. The taste is bitter, the hops come out to give out a nice hop kick to the taste buds. The fruity flavors are right behind with pineapple being the first and some apple as well. The feel of this beer light to medium with some carbonation that is pretty light. It also goes down pretty easy and is smooth even if it is pretty hoppy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

nice floral hoppy aroma. smells like an IPA. Cloudy light orange to amber color with a nice two finger white head. Medium mouthfeel with plenty of carbonation. Very bitter aftertaste. This is a great pale ale and is highly recommended.
