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.

Can (March 22nd) at Goblet, with Damir. Hazy amber body, thick off-white head. Lovely citric touch in the aroma, on hefty caramelly maltiness. Soft taste, caramelly maltiness, citric touches, light herbal touches and light coconut, clearly a bit oxidized but pleasant enough. Well, I actually respect it for holding up this okay.

Smell of hops, fruit. Golden colour, high white head. Aroma of spruce, overripe citrus, some soap. Medium bitter, some messy sweetness also. Medium carbon.

Can, orangish brown hazy. Nose of pine cones. First swig is a big cloying sweet mess of fermenting rotten bitter unripe green grapefruit rinds. Then that's followed by a volatile blast of blasphemous sticky pine tar. Rude as all hell. Nasty nellie, I need a cheap american macro pale lager for a chaser. The bastard is truly an arrogant terrible rude ass bastard. Let me suck on some mouth coating handsoap er sumthin. Terribly on style. Man, this really is a punch in the palate, the finish hangs on forever and I can't feel a thing for about a half hour. Whew. Hands down, this is one of the most terribly on style double IPA I've had in a fricken while. Big fat Mr Yuk on my taste buds, oh shit. Thank goodness I get a buzzy brain numbing reward for enduring this punishment.

Can at the house in Jackson - picked up from Bin 22 pours clear, bright gold with a fluffy, pure white head. Medium sweet flavour with good and sturdy malts, resinous pine, nips of booze, graham cracker, ripening orange, a little grass. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Mellow warmth to finish, sun-kissed bready pale malts, more orange rind, sticky pine. Classic stuff.

stovepipe can. Pours a lightly hazy golden color with a huge off white head that lasts forever. The aroma is strong with citrus, pine, grass and cotton candy. The taste is grapefruit, pine resins, melons, bit of caramel and some bitter herbs. The palate is full and smooth with soft carbonation. Finishes medium in duration with lingering bitter-sweet topicals. Overall: Decent IIPA, paired well with some north sea cheese.
