Boatswain Double IPA can pour into nonic pint glass from Trader Joe's. Appearance is clear, dark amber with nice sparkle, 1/2-finger width white head with poor retention and trace lacing. Aroma is initial bready malt which then shifts quickly to fruity esters (seems like the wrong style). Taste is bread, caramel and fruity esters. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with silky texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, this is so weird for a DIPA that it is a spectacular failure for the style. But, if you called it an imperial saison then it's fairly interesting. Not complex but odd in a somewhat good way.

12oz can labeled Boatswain Double IPA, picked up at Trader Joe’s
Pours clear amber with a small off-white head, light lacing. Aroma is sweet grains and sugar. Flavor is sweet malts, cardboard, caramel with a mild bitter finish
A cheap 6 pack, but I can’t finish a can. Glad I only bought a single can.

Can. Pours a clear orange with a light gold hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a strong biscuit and earthy grain with a hint of grass backing. Flavor has lots of bread and biscuit with grass and a hint of earthy citrus.

Bottled. A dark golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, alcohol, and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, malt, caramel, and over ripe fruit, leading to a bitter finish.

22 oz bottle poured into a Spiegelau tulip. Bottle from Trader Joe’s as Rhinelander Boatswain Double IPA Twin Screw Steamer. Very slightly hazy amber/orange with a finger of off-white head. Aromas of big malt right off the bat, some citrus, light floral. Tastes of malt, some citrus, caramel, biscuit, sweet syrup. Medium-light body with a dry finish. Sort of a thin syrupy mouthfeel. Very malt-forward and sweet. Not terrible for two bucks and change but not something I’d revisit.

$3 bomber from trader joes labeled as boatswain double IPA, twin screw steamer. First I thought it to be a little ruff then it seem to smooth over a little as the session continued, must have been the 9% alky dulling my senses. Yes, some dull hop sensations with a tad of sweetness along with that typical mouth coating ipa feeling. but I must say, this is probably a little easier to take than many double IPA. Not sure if it really is a double but it provides the brain numbing kick of a double. Good value fer sure! Glad to have come across these boatswain beers, very good value for what they are.

650 ml labeled as "Boatswain Double IPA" Aroma is pale malt, bread, sugar and a weak herbal hop. Caramel
The flavor is is as unexciting as the aroma. I feel like the flavor isn’t as bad as some of the ratings lead you to believe but surely nothing anybody is going to purchased again. Caramel base, citrus and weak herbal hints with just a lot of sugar. Way to much sugar. The bitterness doesn’t really come from a pronounced hop, kind of generic bitter. I guess for the price it’s ok. More like a weak attempt at a homebrew.
