Oskar Blues says:<\/p>\n

“America\u2019s first hand-canned craft beer is a voluminously hopped mutha that delivers a hoppy nose, assertive-but-balanced flavors of pale malts and hops from start to finish.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oskar Blues Dale’s Pale Ale
\nAmerican Pale Ale, 6.5% ABV
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Sayeth the Guys:<\/em><\/p>\n

Ryan:<\/strong> I picked up one lonely can of this and a single can of Old Chub at a Woodman’s in Appleton, WI.\u00a0 Since those are the only two things I bought I am pretty sure the cashier thought I was going to drink both as soon as I got to the parking lot.\u00a0 Well, lady, sorry to disappoint you but I did not.<\/p>\n

(Editors Note: We here at GDB do not, in any way, condone drinking and driving – just drinking and blogging<\/em>).<\/p>\n

I actually split this beer on the 4th of July with my father-in-law…named Dale.\u00a0 While he’s not a big pale ale guy, he could not pass up an opportunity to drink a beer that bares his name. I, on the other hand, am<\/em> a big pale ale guy and was pretty fired up to get my hands on this.<\/p>\n

Dale’s Pale Ale pours an orangish-copper in color with just a hint of lab coat white head (what, I wrote this in the waiting room of my Dr’s office).\u00a0 Loads of citrus in the nose of this beer; lemon zest, orange peel and grapefruit.<\/p>\n

My nose does not deceive, at least according to my palate it does not.\u00a0 DPA starts off with a touch of malty sweetness before the hop bitterness comes barreling through.\u00a0 Citrus hops at first, which then fade to floral hops followed by a pinch of ground black pepper.<\/p>\n

Overall, this is a killer APA from Oskar Blues.\u00a0 Very true to the style and very hoppy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
