Sep 7, 2008 Taster at The Mondial de la biere 08 in Montreal. The color is amber with a beige head and nice lace. The aroma is sweet and hoppy. The taste is also sweet with the malt then the bitterness of the hops cuts in with the fruits to make it a good double I.P.A.

Sep 7, 2008 Crazy head on this piece. I really enjoy the hop profile on this. It’s a bit faded, but then it’s just good malt sweetness w/ good hops. Nice finish. MMM very good hops. A little sticky perhaps.

Sep 7, 2008 Golden amber color with bubbly white head. Aroma is kind of stale hops. Floral and citrus hops most notably. Not a horribly bitter flavor. Very well balanced with the malts. Finishes with a nice, dry bitter. All right beer.

Sep 2, 2008 Pours milky dark amber, with 2 finger chunky tan head that lasts and leaves some lacing. Aroma is floral and grassy hops, green walnuts, and wild flowers. Flavor is sweet grapefruit, light caramel malts, starfruit, a little alcohol in the tail end followed by bitter and citrus hops. Palate is medium thinckness and a little sticky.

Sep 2, 2008 750 mL bottle. A fairly strong aroma, not overly potent though, good amount of floral and grassy hop, with a decently prominent red berry malt, nothing wrong here. Dark orange in color, mostly opaque and cloudy, very large pour with an off-cream color head, good staying power, ok lacing, again no complaints. An almost suprisingly sweet backbone throughout for a single ipa with melon fruit, bitter hop takes over in the finish though of more of the herbal/grassy variety than citrus in my opinion, lingering aftertaste is almost there for me, but not quite, pretty full body, pretty thick feel, (could have been a little lighter). In the end, I’m very happy with this beer (Boulevard is continuing to impress) and there were just a few nick-picky things i have complaints about, but not many.

Sep 2, 2008 Batch 08095. Pours with a huge, rocky, off-white head. Hazy amber body with somee very small particles floating around. Great lacing. Flowery-citrus hops with a tad bit of spiceyness, and caramel in the aroma. Taste is caramely with light hops in the bak, but the finish is sweet overall, not bitter. This seems like a weak DIPA to me, not a regular IPA. Light bubbles.
