May 14, 2009 Aroma- Bready/biscuit-like, some berry esters, medium herbal hoppiness.
Appearance- Good clarity, head is off white and not real creamy. Dark gold color.
Flavor- Herbal hoppiness exists immediately and lasts throughout, without ending in intense bitterness. Biscuit maltiness provides a nice backbone. I’m guessing either victory or biscuit malt was used. Great flavor!
Palate- smooth, with body that is surprisingly full for Boulevard! The bitteness dries it out a little, but overwhelmingly.
Overall- Nice offering from Boulevard. It’s got a great, full body and the flavor is complex enough to turn this session beer into a "sit-back and sip-er".

May 13, 2009 12oz bottle scored via trade with inkubus27. Thanks Tim! Pours a hazy, copper, orange amber with a thin, white, lacing head. Well balanced aroma of slight pine hops, some grapefruit, crackers, caramel malts. Flavor is very nice, simple but extremely drinkable. Earthy hops, slight pine, slight citrus, some faint tropical fruits. Very earthy. Finish has some lasting bitterness and is a bit dry. Session beer for sure and very nice.

May 4, 2009 Thanks to Oscbert for this one! Pours amber with a small head. Aroma is very weak and vague, perhaps a little honey, that’s it. Flavor is only slightly hoppy and malty. Palate is greasy with little carbonation. Not bad, but forgettable. Overall, fair plus.

Apr 28, 2009 12 ounce bottle from the Libation Station in Johnson City, TN. Pours a slightly hazy orange color with a medium head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of leafy, citrus hops and caramel. Taste is very similar with a little more leafyness. Medium bodied.

Apr 22, 2009 Poured with an off-white head and almost no lace. Looks and tastes force carbonated. I’m prejudiced against the beer as the hops give the beer a grapefruit character that I don’t like. Do pick up some malt in there and that helps. Proly not bad if you like the grapefruit thing.

Apr 21, 2009 12oz bottle, I think I paid $8 for the sixer. Interesting that this is bottle conditioned as well as made with whole hop cones juts like another certain pale ale. Color was golden, clear, good head. The smell was well, nondescript to say the least. The taste was very balanced between malts and hops and not what I would call hoppy at all. It was however amazingly easy to drink. I could see myself purchasing this with some regularity if only it were cheaper than SNPA.
