I am not the first reviewer to suggest that Denver Pale has more APA characteristics than EPA.
While the confusion could have been made because of its Looks and balanced Smells, its toasty malt quickly gets obscured by citrus and pine hops on the Tongue. While its body is thin, it is gently creamy... or at least not too many bubbles.
This is a nice sessionable APA consistent with the style.

Canned May 18, 2017 so it's a little older than I usually get. Right on the cutting off point for me.
Pours a dull golden with peach flesh highlights. Small head. Slight citrus, lemon peel and grains on the nose. Muted citrus, lemon and orange, and malty graininess. Great mouthfeel, good drinkability. It's a solid pale choice.

A: Pours a golden yellow color with a massive head that fades down to a decent cap that leaves good lacing
S: Some earthy, citrusy, and piney hops up front along with some toasted maltiness and a light sweetness
T: Follows the nose. Starts off with the earthy and citrusy hops and goes into the toasted and bready maltiness. Moderately bitter with a balancing sweetness from the malt. Finishes with lingering light bitterness
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Smooth
O: A solid pale ale with a good balance between hop bitterness and malt sweetness. Very easy to drink. Check it out if you're into hoppier pales
