This voluminously hopped mutha delivers a hoppy nose and assertive-but-balanced flavors of pale malts and citrusy floral hops from start to finish. Oskar Blues launched its canning ops in 2002, brewing and hand-canning Dale’s Pale Ale in the Lyons, Colorado, brewpub. America’s first-craft-canned mountain pale is a hearty, critically acclaimed trailblazer that changed the way craft beer fiends perceive portable beer

Updated, after having this on draught.
An amber pour with a decent head and stringy lacing. Toasted caramel malt, with a leafy tea flavor in the background. Traditional hops flavor and bitterness that carries over into the aftertaste. Enjoyable, a solid Pale Ale.

Love this one. This is just a perfect classic Pale Ale. Can’t believe i didn’t try it sooner. Large long lasting pillowy head looks like a Belgian ale. Perfect amber color. I agree its a little more boozy than most in this style, but still such a great classic APA.
