Aug 18, 2009 Golden color with a taller, lasting, off-white head. HInts of caramel, upon orange peels and pine sap. Aromas seem thin. Light crisp start. Middle is resinous and just a touch of toffee. Light and fizzy in feel. Perhaps my bottle is too cold. I let the glass warm... Light honey and bit of grass hops. Still fizzy and light. Flavors are better, warmer, but still thin, just like the body. LInger is bitter and has some pine and just straight bitterness which adds little, without much of a malt backbone.

Aug 15, 2009 A clear golden colored beer, with a thick foamy white head. The aroma of hop bitter, with fruits like citrus and orange. Smells sweet. The taste is dry, bitter. It’s fruity and sweet. The aftertaste is dry and sweet biter. Overall for me too sweet for a IPA.

Aug 14, 2009 Bottle from GBBF 09. Gold, thin white head. Really lovely leafy fresh hop aroma. Grapefruit PNW hop aroma. OK in mouth, with some toast, some sweetness, but lacking a bit of backbone. Could do with a bit more fullness from the malts. Nice hops on finish too. Not sure where it goes. Good though

Aug 13, 2009 Bottle in KC. Apricot pour with above average head. A step up in flavor and intensity from the Pale Ale. A pleasing drink and another hit for Boulevard.

Aug 10, 2009 Pours a nice copper color with a dense white head that remained and left attractive lacing behind on the glass. Smells of earthy hops, some pine, and definitely some citus as well. The flavor was very appetizingly bitter with hints of pine and citrus. I was very surprised by the quality of this IPA, rather well done.

Aug 9, 2009 I wasn’t expecting a whole lot out of this one but it was damn good. Golden amber pour with a bubbly white head. Good carbonation. Hoppy citrus aroma with a nice citrusy taste and a grassy finish.
