Aug 24, 2009 I have been looking for this beer for over three years. I remembered having it years ago, and really wanted to re-visit after moving to Kansas City. Needless to say, this was not an easy beer to find, but eventually I found someone with a bottle laying around, so here it goes. Keep in mind that this beer is quite old, likely over 7 years. Pour is hazed orange copper amber with a one inch off white head that falls pretty quick with decent lacing. Looks nice. Aroma is toasty malt initially, followed by a bright citrus cardboard. The initial aroma was nice, actually. The oxidized aroma passes quickly, and benign crystal malt is left behind. Taste is toasty crystal malt, some light sugar sweetness, and only a whisper of cardboard in the finish. This actually tastes in better shape than some English milds I have had in the bottle. The finish gets a bit dirty, and detracts some. Palate is lightly carbonated, with a nice chewy medium body. Despite the really low abv, this didn’t taste watery in the least, and even despite the years, had some nice character.

Jul 27, 2009 Pours hazy light brown with a thin white head. Aroma is light malt, sour apple, and tea. Flavor is light and fruitty. Would have been a decent session beer and I am sure it would have been better when fresh.

Mar 30, 2009 One of the first bitters I ever tried...wouldn’t try it again. First...not worth the money for the ABV. Second, the flavor was weak and so was the aroma. It reminded me more of a light american lager than anything else.

Jan 9, 2009 Weak alcohol and taste wise. A hint of citrus. A refreshing beer after to wet the whistle

Jun 16, 2004 So-so flavor. This is a beer that Boulevard made that could be sold in Kansas grocery stores due to its low alcohol content, and it looks better than it tastes. Not very flavorful, but still better than the macrobrews that you’d get at a supermarket. I don’t know if they even make it anymore.

Feb 10, 2004 Bronze color with a off white head. Light malt and citric hops aromas. Light simple malt flavors with a touch of hopsack. A typical ale.

Nov 10, 2003 Updated: Sep 3, 2004Light and has a citrus taste. Other than that it is very light. Still has that typical yeast taste of Boulevard.
