Oskar Blues Dale’s Pale Ale

This copiously hopped pale ale packs a hoppy nose and assertive but balanced flavors of pale malts and citrusy floral hops from start to finish.

When poured, this copper-hued beer delivers a thick, lacy head. It isn’t shy: you’ll be overtaken by hops, but after a second sip you’ll notice a solid balance with the pale malt. The next sip you’ll start to pick up on the citrus flavors (lemon and orange), and before you know it you’ll need to refill your glass.
