Jan 14, 2008 Not really sure why I haven’t rated this, I have certainly drank a lot over the years. 12oz bottle from this years release which has been on the shelves less than a week. Served in a pint glass. This is my third Blvd Irish Ale tonight. Aroma is caramel, toffee, and toasty with some floral, light fruits and earthy hops. Copper colored with an off-white head. The taste is all about the malt and is toasty, melanoidin rich, caramel and toffee with some nice floral and lightly earthy hops to balance it out. Very drinkable. Always a treat this time of year.

Jan 13, 2008 Bottle courtesy of dadplus2. Pours a lightly hazy reddish brown with a small, creamy, beige head. The nose is lightly toasty malt, caramel and faint floral and earthy hops; clean but fairly muted. Fairly light-bodied with soft carbonation and a crisp, clean, lightly hoppy finish. The flavor is of toasted and slightly astringent caramel malt with a tight, lightly bitter finish featuring solid notes of floral and mildly earthy hops. This is the last of Boulevard’s four seasonal beers that I’ve sampled. Like its three predecessors, this is a well-made and tasty brew. Aside from the Smokestack series, I find their seasonals to be their best beers. Thanks again for this bottle, Mark!

Dec 29, 2007 Nice Ale! Red and hearty and good for most everything that ails you. A good take on a traditional Irish Red. This Red tops Leinie’s and Killigan’s... by a long shot.

Dec 27, 2007 This beer comes a little late for St. Patty’s day. I’m not sure I can tell the difference between this and an amber. This beer isn’t anything special, though I am not a fan of the style that much either.

Dec 27, 2007 Excited to see it come around each year. Starts as if it were a stout lightened up a bit. Nice amber color, semi-strong, ale.

Nov 20, 2007 Toasted malt, earthy aroma. Prominent roasted malt with spice, fruit, and caramel notes. Moderate hop presence.
Dry crisp finish. Excellent Irish Ale.

Oct 30, 2007 Mahogany pour with fluffy tan head. Strong, pleasant aroma is sweet and malty with hints of citrus...just delicious! Flavor is dominated by malt flavors up front, but there’s some reminders of hops near the end. Slightly thin on the palate, but nothing too off for an Irish Ale. Dry finish leaves you clamoring for more...a great example of the style by Boulevard!
