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 a dark amber brown color with a medium tan head. Nice flavors of malts, nuts, caramel, toffe, and toasty hops. Decent beer and a very good Irish ale.

I was pretty excited to see this one at Steve’s. I’m also happy overall to find Boulevard beers in my neck of the woods. Poured a breautiful, translucent amber colour with a very fine white head. Plenty of carbonation, just not much in the froth. Aroma is pleasent, a little hint of caramel and smoke possibly hidden, very subtley. Flavours of something sweet, like maybe a little maple syrup or something- otherwise finishes slightly bitter. I guess i may be comparing this too much to the Great Lakes Irish because it’s probably one of my favorites and most recent. Anyway, i’ll be trying this agian for sure.

Clear red, tall head. Light cherry aroma, otherwise weak. Weak taste, not very pleasant finish. The taste dies off quickly. Reminds me of cough syrup.

Good deep cloudy amber with a nice tan head. Aroma of British hops and a balanced malt blend. Taste is balanced and mild but full and mostly malt with a caramel nut finish. Good for the style, albeit a little bitter.

Pours dark brownish amber with a 2 finger slimy looking beige head. Aroma is grass, grainy malt, biscuit, fruity notes, and some planty hops. Flavor is raw grain, toast, wood notes, grass, light fruit, raw nuts, citrus and some caramel. Finish is slightly bitter and planty. Palate is thin, slightly sweet and has a slightly drying finish, very clean and crisp. A very good beer, available at a great price in my area.

12oz bottle from BevMo! Mission Valley. Pours a nice blood orange amber with a big n’ thick beige head, nice lacing left on the glass. Nice roasty aroma with some hazel nut and toffee hints. A very crisp and clean finish.

Bottle. Poured amber with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of toasted malts and spices. The flavor is slightly fruity with a light hop background. Medium body, dry, balanced but plain.

Usually I really like the Boulevard products. Somehow, for me, this one missed the mark. It is not much more than an average Irish Ale in my book. Looks like by the total average rating I am outnumbered...oh well, personal preference.
