Beer Thread

[badwhale]

So, I live in a beer-deprived shithole. Any time we go out of state, I make sure to pick up some kind of beer we can't get here. I don't drink a whole lot of beer, and I prefer microbrews. When I do drink it I want it to taste like something. But in a pinch, I prefer the Beast Lite. But that's for another thread....

Anyways, my pick this past weekend was Dale's Pale Ale, from Oskar Blues brewery in Colorado. Anyone have any opinion on this brew? What enticed me was the fact that it's a Pale Ale with a high alcohol content and it's presented in a can. I've long heard that beers are best in cans (plus you can crush them on your forehead), but have seen very few that opt for the can instead of the bottle.

Any opinions?

I like this beer. It's strong, yes, but it has a nice clean straight up IPA flavor. Crisp and delicious. It reminds me a lot of Stone IPA.

PS the Ten Fidy Imperial Stoudt is pretty good from them too.
