Yet another Boulevard I got to try from the sample pack, thanks again to my bro/sis-in-law, nice cloudy amber pour, large head. Very citrusy and hoppy. Taste is what I’ve come to expect from an American micro-brewed IPA. Nice balance with a hoppy finish. A great IPA and another great one from Boulevard.

Dec 18, 2009 This was the best selection of the variety 12-pack I purchased. Decent IPA, with a light cloudiness. Citrus notes and some spiciness. Would like to try their Double-wide. The rest of the Blvd. variety pack was pretty dull, except perhaps for the "Bully Porter."

Dec 15, 2009 Bottle. Pours a light copper, minimal head. Aroma of American hops and alcohol. Flavor is nice and crisp, tart and bitter. There is a bit more alcohol in the aftertaste, but it’s not a huge flaw. Nice thick body. Good effort.

A run of the mill IPA this was a bonus in a recent trade. Boulevard makes decent beers but I have yet to run across one that is so memorable it has made a name for them. On the other hand this could have been far worse. As a daily drinker it would not be a bad investment to keep around for friends and those times when you just want something simple.
Aroma / Appearance - The bronze carbonated body shined through the light of the setting sun. A thick white head trapped the hoppiness for around ten minutes. When it did a pleasing texture of grapefruit and melon was the result. Tinged with a sugary icing it was a bit different than I thought going in. The overall impression was a bit like a store bought gingersnap cookie.
Flavor / Palate - Honey drizzed over a plain pretzel confused the senses for a while until I figured out what was going on. Unlike many IPAs, which have a hoppy bite from the start, this one takes time to set in. It may be the bottle was not fresh enough but even so I would have expected more hoppiness and less doughiness in the finish. All told it is a so-so IPA which hints at the potential to be better.

Dec 6, 2009 Bottled. Pours golden with minimal off white head. Smells of citrus and floral hops.Flavors similar, finishes with lots of hops--almost dry with nothing but hops on the palate. Overall, a decent beer.

Dec 5, 2009 Tasted at Beer Dabbler event in St. Paul. Serious hop and floral flavor but with little behind it. Quite a bit of malt and fizz. Not quite sure why I enjoyed it as much as I did but probably something to do with the variety of citrus flavors.

Dec 3, 2009 Bottle. Poured a golden orange with a medium white head. Aroma was beautiful with a nice mix of citrus, floral and pine hops. Flavor begins with pine hops and ends with a bit of citrus, but mainly pine throughout.

Dec 2, 2009 Tap at Warren Theater and Grille, Wichita, KS, during "The Blind Side".
Pours a lively light orange with a nice white head and a nose of subtle grapefruit, rose, and a touch of malt. Flavor is crisp, lingering sour grapefruit with a subtle infusion of pine-soaked orange. Tingly and coating on the tongue. Another great Boulevard beer.
