Last of this offering from Dogfish Head. Really liked the honey note.
Most days it's gin but on beer days, like today, it's Dale's Pale Ale. Weirdly, it only comes in a can. I like a good pale ale, but got tired of paying imported prices for USA Bass, and most liquor stores near me only carry Smithwick's Red, not Pale. Dale's may seen a bit more hoppy at first sip than Bass, but it's not overhopped like most craft beers. Plus I can store a 12 pk of cans on the back, bottom shelf of our fridge without my wife complaining that bottles are taking up "her" space on the top shelf.
I'm a big fan of DPA. One I like better from the same brewery is Mama's Little Yellow Pils. Both are great summer beers, and typically aren't overly priced.
I been working my way though a Sierra Nevada Sierra Pack which I guess is exclusive to Costco. It contains four 6pks - Pale Ale, Wild Little Thing, Summer Break, and Tropical Torpedo.
Wild Little Thing is a sour beer - yummy.
Pale Ale was very hoppy, but drinkable.
Now I’m on the Summer Break - which is a session hazy IPA. Tastes a lot like the Pale Ale. Full beer flavor. Drinkable but nothing exciting.
For $34 I doubt I’ll buy it again.

Tonight seems like an IPA affair
I have two bottles of their 120 minute ipa aging in my basement right now!

American amber from Starry-eyed Brewing. Excellent representation of the style. A little overpriced for 4 12ozer's, but I don't mind supporting the locals.
Smartmouth Alter Ego Saison brewed in Norfolk, VA.

Three Floyds Munsterfest. Nice one, but I wish whoever designs this brewery's bottle labels and cartons would be a little less extravagant. It's like trying to solve one of those 3D puzzles...
Cat 5 is here. Uber sweet. Lots of EtOH at 14% in this year’s edition.
…and a small pour of Merchant Nitro Porter. She doesn’t like the smokiness, but I needed something to offset the sweetness of Cat 5.
Bud Light in a bottle. Kind of like McDonalds McRib. I start to think, surely it’s not as bad as I remember. Nope, it’s as bad as I remember.
Gotta admit it…. I eat McRibs.
Me too. Once a year.
Demands on my time earlier today warranted a side trip exploring this stout from Hammerheart Brewing. Pretty potent, but for a barrel-aged offering it wasn't overwhelming.
Sitting in a lawn chair in my daughter’s empty condo. We are burned out from painting all day and we will be sleeping on air mattresses tonight. Not going anywhere tonight so thank heaven for 7-11 across the street. Yuengling for the win!
