Boulevard Bobs 47 Oktoberfest

Brewed by Boulevard Brewing Company
Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
Kansas City, Missouri USA

12 oz bottle, via ericmc83. Light copper pour, clear, with minimal to zero head. Deep caramel malt nose with accents of hops. Caramel malt flavor with a crisp hoppy finish. Medium bodied with an overly fizzy feel on the tongue. Decent beer for the style, almost borders on an Oktoberfest. Could use a little more body and a smoother mouthfeel though.

Rerated-spiced toffee aroma. Prominent caramel and toffee malts. Hint of hallertau hops and spice.Nice mouthfeel.

Malt aroma with a tiny hint of something fruity. Sweet caramel and some fruit. This is definitely the real deal. Very good stuff.

nice amber color,small white head that faded quickly leaving little behind.Malty semi sweet aroma with some hops hidden in the back ground.The flavor was Light malty flavor with a little caramel in the middle and some hops coming up at the end.It has a nice tingly feel on the tongue in the beginning and smooths out nicely at the end with a nice mellow caramel amlt taste.Pretty decent brew for the price,just wish it had a little more ABV. to warm up with in the cold.

2005 (I assume) bottle from Herbjones. Awesome choice Bob! Consumed on 11/12/05. Don’t think it’s quite as dark as made out to be, more of a coppery-amber with some rusty tinges. Foamy, persistent white head is well retained and provides even spotty lacing. Clear and I believe, bottle conditioned? Aroma has a little bite of crisp lager yeast, with a touch of saazy sweatiness, hint of dry lemon-peel-like notes (no actual lemon peel in there), and a bit of sweet biscuity pale grains. Fresh minerals and a bit of lightly baked white dough. Flavor begins with a light sourdough feel, light minerals and a persistent touch of saaz hops on the end. Dry and argumentative peach, apricot and nectarine notes keep the palate busy while only a smattering of sweet honey is felt as well. Carbonation is quite persistent, creating a very foamy/over-aerated texture (but to its defense, I drank this too warm). Medium body is ample. Could stand some more hop bitterness. There’s a blurry line between a helles and a premium lager and this straddles it. Whatever the case, all areas of the beer are well-executed. Yeast retains a mineralesque and yet also a lightly biting feel well on to the end of the bottle. No alcohol apparency anywhere.

bottle pours golden with a dark red hugh. little head. aroma is hops and malt with an almost sour quality though very subtle it could just be me. taste is fairly bland though i have just had an old rasputin and and expedition before this malt slight hops and hop bitterness not bad but unexciting

12oz bottle with twist-off cap poured into pub glass: This beer pours a nice copper color with a very small head. The aroma is standard, possibly a bit metallic but nothing noteworthy. There are subtle carmel flavors. It leaves a bit of a stale taste in your mouth though. I’d drink this beer again if it was available but I’m not in any rush to buy more.

Poured a clear amber/orange with a fizzy white head. Some caramel and malt on the nose, faint. Taste different.Like a watered medicine with some beer. Maybe that is the hops? Nothing extra ordinary. Thanks Eric.
