Beer: Oskar Blues Brewery Dale's Pale Ale
Appearance: Strong orange – copper with a thick white head and impressive lacing. Looks like an IPA.

Smell: Very hoppy, with noticeable hints of pine and a little citrus. Smells like an IPA.
Taste: Prominent but not overpowering west coast style hops flavoring with restrained notes of citrus and pine and a nice malt overlay to balance things out. Tastes like an IPA – a really good IPA.
Mouthfeel: Thick and substantive; but also smooth if that make sense. Satisfying after one, but sessionable as well.
Overall: These wonderful cans seem to be almost replacing Sierra Nevada as the de facto Pale Ale, at least in the towns I frequent. And with good reason – this is a big, bold hoppy pale ale but not overpowering like the stronger IPA’s. Both flavorful and drinkable. A+
