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.

Pours amber colour with medium tan head. Aroma is biscuity and caramel maltiness. Light fruity hop. Flavour is toasty caramel, some buttery tones and finishes with a light bitterness.

Amber pour into tan foamy head that quickly dissipates into a ring of lacing as a small amount of carbonated bubbles rise from the bottom of the glass. Aroma of toasted caramel malt and flowery hops. Initial flavor of toasted malt with a slighly hoppy finish that quickly fades into malty yet buttery sweetness.

Pours a deep redish, brown with a small white head that doesn’t last long. Aroma is a lot of earthy cereal and toasted biscuit malt with almost no hops at all. Flavor is a mad mix of malt, very delicious. Almost like a scotch ale, but a little lighter, and with an Irish whiskey kick and a nice earthyness. Hops are present on the finish, however, being Golding, they do balance a little, but remain mostly hidden in the backdrop. A nice mouthfeel with light carbonation and rich malt. Not a lot of hops present in both flavor and aroma, but the style IS more malt-based. Overall a little sweeter than I prefer, but a great all around Irish Ale. Would prefer over other IA’s I’ve had.

My favorite Irish ale.. And I love this brewery. NIce amber in Color with some fizzy white head... Smells of malt and lucky charms... Really nice and ample carbonation that helps with the beers slightly bitter finish. Lots of sweet malt on the flavor but also has a distinctive hop backbone.... Very balanced and I wish it was made year round

Amber brown with a small head. Aroma is sweet with some hops. Some earthy malts balance it out. Drinkable and a very nice red.

Picked up a case from my local store as it was on sale for $3.99/6pk. Let’s see how it rates... Cloudy orange brown in appearance, toasty malt aroma and a roasted malt flavor & sweet aftertaste. Overall, a nice solid effort from Boulevard (which is becoming a favorite brewer of mine).
