Sampled from 12-oz bottle from Boulevard variety 12-pack. Pours a clear golden amber brew with an average off-white head that dissipates to a thin white ring and some spotty lacing. Aroma of citrus zest, a hint of caramel malt, some light pine and grassy hops. Taste is medium bodied, with flavors of caramel malt, grassy and cirtusy hops, and a touch of green vegetable. Finish is semi-dry some fruit with the bitter hops really comes out in the finish.

Bottle. Pours a large, frothy, off-white head. Lasting and lacy. Clear, amber body with abundant carbonation bubbles. Aroma is of mild floral hops and light bread crust. Light citrus and more floral hops in the flavor. Malts are caramel and little biscuit. Some wood and pear also present in the flavor. Medium, smooth body. Average carbonation. Moderately bitter, clean finish. II wish there were a more prominent presence played by the flavor and aroma hops. The malt profile is very pleasant. Overall a well made, subtle APA. Very sessionable. A tip of the hat to the beer that got me interested in craft beer.

Golden-amber color with a big frothy off-white head. The aroma is malty with some citrus at first that I don’t pick up at all after a few whiffs. The scent also includes hay, grass and a touch of swill. Easy drinking with grassy and malty flavors with mild bitter hops and herbal notes. Kind of ho hum and unexciting but still a decent session beer.

Bottle. Really quiet and really plain. Nothing to make you want to come back to. Started the turn on the mixed pack. I just did not get much flavour out of the dark amber liquid.

12 oz bottle, best by 10/10/09. Pours a hazy golden amber with a big creamy white head that retains well and laces the glass.

The aroma is sweet fruity caramel malts with some subdued hops.

The flavor is bready caramel malts, tea, and some fruits with a pretty mild bitter finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full with creamy carbonation.

Overall, a pretty good pale ale. It’s a bit mild in the hops for me.

pours a nice amber color with a little floral taste. Not bad I always enjoy a good boulevard beer.

I really enjoy this beer and have it on hand quite often. Pours an amber color with a tan/white head. Hoppy aroma with a lot of lacing. Great flavor and goes down smooth
