Oskar Blues Dale's Pale Ale: 24

Taste: 8 Finish: 8 Visual: 5 Aroma: 3
Total: 24

Great head that lingers. Lots of lacing. Cloudy and amber color. Aroma is of hops and slight grapefruit. Lots of hops throughout without being overpowering. It will cut through any thirst but it's a bit too strong to beat the heat. Lots of pine and earthy flavors. A bit of grapefruit in the back. A hint of floral hops on the aftertaste. And the bitterness lingers, as it should. It's a big pale without going to IPA. But I've tasted IPAs with less punch.
