Minhas Imperial Jack Double IPA

(12oz can) - Soapy looking head. Clear body the color of dark golden with orange mixed in. Light aroma of rubbing alcohol. Flavor is unpleasant. Sort of oxidized with bitter traits. Lingers on the palate much longer than I’d hope for. Thankfully I only bought a single can.

Picked up at Trader Joe’s (and was just un-boxed and put on the shelf) where it is called Boatswain or some such nonsense. The 22oz bomber pours clear copper with effervescent loose off white head. The aroma offers up some sugary maybe pilsener malts and modest to mild citrus to faintly spicy to floral. The taste has just enough spicy to floral hops to mildly citrus hops to hold off the overly sweet stale biscuit maltiness. (their IPA couldn’t achieve this, sadly). Along these notes are bits of mineral and yeastiness that help to ensure this will not come together and be a pleasing experience. Disappointing product.

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.

Medium sized off white head with fair retention and lace.Clear, copper hued ale. Nose of banannas and caramel malts. Body is medium, tad oily and a lil astringent. Some burnt caramel malt flavors, lil phenolic with a bit of bananna hangin in there.Dry, astringent finish that lasts way too long. Wish i had paid $2.99 for this piece of poopay.

Bottle thanks to burg326: Poured a orange with white head. Aroma is sweet with floral and hops. Taste is sticky sweet fruit and light floral hops. Smooth enjoyable beer and definitely not IPA let alone DIPA.

Had as Boatswain Double IPA. Aroma is fairly strong and hoppy, with a hint of sour citrus, but not remarkable. It pours a clear amber with a so-so pale head that doesn’t last too long. Flavor is hoppy, a little bitter, just slightly fruity, barely says it’s an IPA - let alone a double IPA. Texture is smooth and firm, none too fizzy, though it leaves a hoppy and woody finish and a persistent tingle on the lips. Fair to middlin’ and leanin’ towards fair. Give it a try anyway.

One of my favorites. Am enjoying a 22 right now as I write this review after an hour of snow blowing. Cheap and tasty. Good summer or winter. Not as hoppy as they say, yet, just right for me. Like scotch whisky, you either love it or hate it. Sipping on a bottle playing golf on a hot afternoon is like paradise on earth. I know that I am in the minority, yet I will keep drinking it because I like it.

This beer pours thin and murky with a meager head that quickly dissipates. It smells like latex and tastes of grass and petroleum distillates. The mouthfeel is too thin for an IPA let alone a "double IPA"... what the hell is a "double IPA" anyway? There is a bitter, chemical finish. How someone would choose to brew this beer on purpose is beyond me. This beer's only redeeming quality is that it's cheap. UPDATE! This beer ruined my weekend. The morning after consuming this swill, I awoke to a throbbing headache, nausea, and violent, explosive diarrhea. You have been warned!

I sampled the Boatswain Double IPA, which my friend brought back with the Chocolate Stout. This is quite possibly the worst DIPA I have ever had in my life. Tastes like apple juice, and the the texture is like an overripe, mealy, nearly rotten macintosh. I nearly choked on it when I sampled it. It is sickeningly sweet to boot. I don't know where the 75 IBUs are; I can't taste any of them. The aftertaste is extremely cloying. The problem with drinking one beer at a time is that one want to wash the taste out of your mouth, but all you have in your hand is the same crap that you are trying to forget.
