Commercial Description:
Boulevard Irish Ale, our springtime seasonal beer, is patterned after red ales that have a rich Irish heritage. Our recipe combines five kinds of malt to provide a complex, toasty flavor and reddish hue. Nugget and English Kent Golding hops are added to enhance the beer’s complexity and to produce a pleasing balance.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a small frothy off white head that lasts awhile leaving good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a sweet fruit malt with dough and smoke. Medium mouthfeel with a light toasty malt with caramel and a nice bitter finish. A very good Irish ale from Boulevard.

Barely hazy reddish-copper hue with a medium soapy off-white head. Aroma is quite strong on the biscuit dough and sweet malt with a bit of flowery Kent hops aroma. The flavor plays along, with a nice complex malt base with a light roast, a spicy sweet middle, and a nice dry bitter finish. This may not set your hair on fire, but it’s a very nice Irish and perfect in either spring or fall (except that whole freshness thing!)

A very fine Irish ale. Brownish red pour with a medium sized white head. Flavor of malts and very hoppy. Goes down nice and smooth with the hops the prominate taste on the back of the tongue. Very good!"

Bottle. Pours a clear, amber body with a large, tan, foamy head. Aroma of sweet malt, toast, and a bit of biscuit. Thick, sticky malt flavor with more toast, some herbal hops and mild raisin. Medium body with light carbonation and a mild, bitter, clean finish. Some lingering toast. Enjoyable Irish ale.

Bottle. Nice copper pour with a large sudsy head. Sweet maltiness (Munich?) combines with noble hops (probably dry-hopped). Dry hoppy taste, sticky malt with light roast/toast and nuttiness. Very faint chocolate and spicy toffee. Hop smack toward the end, a touch of alcohol showing, very well balanced and delicious. Very nice, reminds of where Upland was headed with their Irish before the alcohol started to amp up.

Pours amber with a white head. Smells of sweet malt, rosey, fruity. Tastes of caramel, some fruity hints. Earthy finish.
