    Zombie Dust. But if you're looking for a more commonly accepted definition of Pale Ale, Drake's 1500.

    My go to is a local St. Terese's from Highland Brewing

    But Zombie Dust is probably the best Pale Ale I have had (although it drinks with more intensity than any "pale ale" I have ever had, I have always thought of it as more of an IPA without the I. Whatever they want to call it its damn good. If its a Pale Ale according to them then my defense rests.

    I can see it: people complain about the change, and they switch it back to the "original" recipe (but this time, using hop extract), and call it "classic pale ale".

    Top 3 in likely order....

    Oddside Citra Pale Ale
    Great Divide Fresh Hop
    3F Alpha King

    Honorable mention goes to Ten Hills from GI, which was indeed a real pleasant surprise to me.

    Green Flash 30th Street, Zombie Dust or Alpha King! (trendy I know, but I genuinely enjoy them)

    Dobis - Cellarmaker
    Zombie Dust - FFF

    Usually any cellarmaker pale ale is phenomenal.

    SN pale ale! Ubiquitous and cheap with a great amount of flavor! The best way to drink it is chilled down to just below freezing. Fantastic!

    Sorry didn't read the whole thread but I think the whole flavor profile has generally gravitated to more hops.
    I love SN but the hop profile even on that classic brew leans towards a hoppier style. If we are talking classic English style Im thinking Bass, Fullers and Sam Smith. Apa Im thinking SN, Dales, Mo. The list goes on.......
