Weird contract brew stuff I guess, I'm having this as Rhinelander's Boatswain Double IPA. Can. I guess this is the same beer as the Minhas. Amber, chill haze, modest head. Nose is yeasty, weird fruit, flavor similar, semi-sweet, grainy, indistinct pale fruit, no real hop aromatics at all. Maybe some light grassy flavors but nothing in the nose. Bitterness is just enough for balance but the beer as a whole is leaning sweet to nearly cloying - I mean, really, what the fuck? Who made this and thought they made a DIPA recipe? It comes across like a high alcohol amber ale, or really, almost just a malt liquor. Kinda bad really.

12 oz. can from Trader Joe. Pours a hazy bronze color with a beige head and very good retention. Limited lacing. Sourish yeast aroma. Medicinal and metallic malts flavors with a slightly boozy finish. Limited hops flavor or bitterness. Tastes more like an old amber ale and malt liquor mix. Crisp mouthfeel. Medium body. Acidic finish. Poorly made. Cheap, and it tastes like it.

Crystal clear coloured body with a light soapy, white head that starts at about a centimetre and fades quickly, like soda and leaves no lace at all. The glow is lightly golden, but this is more watery clear than even golden - pretty mild throughout the look. Aroma of stale malt, light grain, a dash of hay, some grass and a relatively stale and subdued caster sugar note that has some sweetness to add to the watery and foul malt smells. Ultra-light-bodied; Super mild malt flavours show at first with some grass, hay and almost like a musty sugar flavour that hits a mild sweetness, again, on top of just about nothing, but water, very light grain and hay. Aftertaste is super mild and subdued grain and grass with the light caster sugar and funky flavours with a touch of bread and yeast on the very end - not much going on here at all, of course. Overall, a very poor and incredibly bland beer - there really wasn't anything offensive here, aside from the stale malt, but the taste was just watery, bland and very simplistic. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Lidl [grocery] in Manassas, Virginia on 16-October-2017 from one of my co-workers, sampled on 26-February-2020, purchased for US$3,99/six pack - Thanks Tom!

Sampled as 'Boss Light', in a blue can, from this brewery with this ABV. Ridiculously clear and golden coloured body with an ugly, fast-dying pure white head that stays afloat for a few seconds, at most. Aroma of yes, unflattering malt and water with some light corn sugar thrown in the mix, but this is pretty bad, especially in the nose. Ultra-light-bodied throughout; Strong grainy and malt-based flavours that show more corn and ricer and fillers than any actual malts with a very light sweetness from honey and corn syrup at the end, but only a dash of vegetal flavours come through that vary anything from the not-so-good malts and off-sugars. Aftertaste shows the pure corn syrup and funky malts throughout without much else aside from water. Overall, a pretty standard 'macro light' beer that you'd expect with funky malt compontents, a lot of bad and off-flavours that aren't so good. I sampled this tweleve ounce can, given to me by my coworker, purchased from Lidl in Manassas, Virginia on 16-October-2017 for US$3,99/six pack, sampled at home in Washington on 08-January-2020.

0,33 litre can from Trader Joe’s, Vista, Ca. Golden with white head. Malts, hops, bitterness, strong, alcohol. Not good!

Straight from can. Aroma and taste: malt, traces of American hop, phenolic hints. Low bitterness. Not good.

This beer is brewed at Minhas Micro Brewery in Calgary. Very meh, nothing craft about it. Clear straw color, slight malt aroma. Full body. Sweet corn taste, unpleasant finish.
