2022 marks the 20th anniversary of Dale’s Pale Ale, the voluminously hopped, groundbreaking American Pale Ale that holds the distinction of being the first craft beer ever packaged in a can. To mark the milestone, Oskar Blues Brewery announces the release of Double Dale’s Imperial IPA, a double-take on the beer that started it all.

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. Almost clear amber with a good cm of white head. Aroma of kumquat, some grapefruit, pine, bread. Perhaps some peach in the taste too. Fairly sweet with lots of pine and some unintegrated alcohol.

35cl Blik van Beer Republic. Licht amber kleur, witte kraag. Licht moutig, karamel, hars, gras, wat citrus, degelijk bitter. Medium body. Niet de oldskool knaller waar ik op gehoopt had, maar verder prima DIPA.

355 ml canned 12/01/22. Amber, clear body, with a big, fluffy, lacing, yellowish head. Aroma of mango, kiwi, citrus, pine, some black tea, biscuit. Tastes quite similar, while pretty bitter, with slight alcohol. Quite full, oily mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation. Finishes bitter, quite dry, slightly warm, moderate piney, with some tropical fruits. Very nice, old-school DIPA. The nose is really lovely, while the taste has quite a heavy bitterness. Score: 8 / 4 / 7 / 4 / 15
