Boulder Beer Never Summer Ale

Brewed by Boulder Beer Company
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Boulder, Colorado USA

Pours a hazy orange amber color with thin white head. Aroma of bourbon and light fruit. Pretty smooth with a lot of apple and bourbon flavor. Tasted kind of like a mix of whiskey and apple cider but in a good way.

poured a dark reddish color. no strong smells in the aroma. did not taste the spices all that much it was a nice blend to sit and have.

Bottle. Pours a copper brown color with red highlights. Pillowy, comfy-looking fluffy white head. Some nice lacing, too. Aroma has some fruity esters, dry malt, plum, peach, and some slight chocolate, too. Nothing stands out too well overall though. Spicy touch to the flavor, with a fairly malt-driven body. Caramel, and some zest flavors come out, too. A full-bodied beer, with a nice warming touch. Kind of a bland finish, though. You’ll try it once and that’ll probably be it.

Bottle. Pours a nice deep ambery red color with a small lasting white head that leaves little lacing around the glass. Flavor is ok at best. Its overpowered by the malt and caramel leaving the flavor on the sweeter side of things and almost too smooth in my opinion. It’s not a bad beer but not a great beer either, just sort of middle of the road.

Pours an amber ruby color with a thin white head that leaves a lacing around the glass. Smells of malt, caramel, and a biscuit. The flavor I actually didn’t like as much as the aroma. The malt dominates any spices or hops in the beer. I actually just didn’t like it that much.

Pours a wicked amber deep red and very clear. The head rention, an off egg white color, is good and lasting but leaves little lace. The smell is overwhelming malt flavors with prominent camel and a slight walnut sent to it. The taste is sweet caramel with stronger malt flavor. A lasting taste leaves a good mix of spice and a lit hop flavor with the sweet malt resonance. Maybe a bit too sweet with a molasses and brown sugar combo.

Half is carmel thickness on the tongue, and half is a hopped apple and citrus fruitiness. Somewhat lagerish and also an ale. Some peachy colour, and a maltiness in the aroma.

Draught at Cole’s, Buffalo, NY. Pours a deep ruby-amber with an average size lasting creamy off-white head. Mild aroma of caramel malt, hops and light spices. Flavour of caramel malt followed by hops, light spices and a light bitter finish. Average bodied. Meh, it’s alright I guess but my overall reaction is "whatever".
