Dale’s Pale Ale

January 29th, 2010
dales-pale-ale Dale’s Pale Ale (Oskar Blues Brewery) is arguably the best craft brewed Pale Ale served in a can.  Coming in at 6.5% ABV and 65 IBUs, this isn’t your father’s pale ale.

Pale, crystal and probably some Munich malt would serve a cloner well and provide the proper amber color.  Columbus, Centennial & Cascade will provide the perfect bite, flavor and aroma with citrus notes.  I would pick a clean neutral yeast for this one.

Beeradvocate current rating: B+

My take:  This beer is highly drinkable with a great balance between malt and hops – real beer in a can.   This beer is also great if you happen upon it on draught.
