Two decades ago, Oskar Blues Brewery sent shockwaves through the beer industry when they packed Dale’s Pale Ale into a can. It was then an unheard-of packaging decision, but the reasons were obvious to the OB team: it allowed everyone to easily take craft beer on the trail AND it delivered a fresher beer. Now, Double Dale’s Imperial IPA picks up the torch, the welder, and the hacksaw to turn the industry upside down again, doubling down on hops with a newly formulated, massive IPA worthy of the legendary original craft beer in a can.
Double Dale’s is brewed with juicy, tropical El Dorado and complex Talus hops, keeping with the Dale’s tradition of utilizing only American hops. Fruity, piney flavors from the hops mingle with a caramel-driven malt bill, and the whole beast is supported by a new mineral-forward house blend of H2O, which includes six brewing salts. The result is a larger-than-life spin on Dale’s that’s just as packable, drinkable and recyclable as the original.

Pale amber-golden colour, steady white head. Tropical fruity, piney aroma. Medium-bodied. Tropical fruits, pine and resin in the flavour. Lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. Classic IPA flavour. Canned 12/04/2024 so somewhat old, but still kicking ok.

0.355l can from Beer Republic. Aroma is resinous, citrusy, tropical and stone fruity. Pours clear amber color with large soapy off-white head, great lacing and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts rich toasted malty and stone fruity, following is alcoholic and medicinal, mouthfeel is warm and mild spicy, while finish is heavy bitter. Full body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Double Dale, double pleasure…

Can picked up from Beer Republic webshop Berkel-Enschot Netherlands and consumed at home Sunday 16th March 2025 after a short walk to Gasthof zum Sonnewald which was closed. Pours hazy gold, large, sticky white head. This is very good, nice resinous touches, big malty base, a nice streakiness throughout, doesn't taste 9%.

I let this can sit in my cellar for over a year, so take these notes with a grain.
There's a big citrus and tropical fruit nose just pouring from the can. Amber color with a bit of haze, and a sudsy head.
A lot of hop on the tongue, too, and strong alcohol. This can has sat in my cellar longer than an IPA should have, but its extra strength has saved its hop bouquet. Interesting hard candy finish threaded with the alcohol and a bitter aftertaste.

Sample (thanks omhper!). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is nectary, fruity, floral and some mild toffee tones. Flavour is floral, fruity, some herbal, mild toffee tones with some mild burning alcohol in the background. Still rather smooth to drink.
