The following beer recipe is featured in the July/August 2009 issue of Zymurgy magazine. Access this issue along with the archives with Zymurgy Online!
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.
This Oskar Blues Dale's Pale Ale homebrew recipe--originally created by Amahl Turczyn, which appeared in the July/August 2009 Zymurgy magazine--comes in with an IBU of 66, which is high for American-Style Pale Ale beers. However, you'll notice the malt-to-hop balance is sufficient, and you won't want to put this beer down.
