Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat Beer

Brewed by Boulevard Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Kansas City, Missouri USA

12 oz bottle, dated 9/18/09? (hard to read probably a bit old). Pours a hazy golden yellow with a big rocky white head that goes to a thin film that laces the glass some.

The aroma is subdued - wheaty malts and lemon with a little yeast.

The flavor is wheaty bready malts and some lemon with a little spice and some earthy yeast in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium to light bodied and kind of watery with very spritzy carbonation.

Overall, an OK wheat. Not much there, but it’s not bad.

Draft at Shiloh in Columbia, Missouri. Pours a hazy orange gold color with a medium white head that fizzes out relatively quickly. Aroma of orange citrus, wheat, and some malt and clove. Wheaty flavor, also with a good amount of orange citrus and malt, bread, and a dash of clove. Wheaty, bready mouthfeel and medium body. Served a bit too cold so the citrus was gentle and any other fruit and spice flavors may have been muted. This one gets a few notches more for me because it was always on special in the bar across from my apartment in college and was one of the few non-A-B beers my buddies and I would drink (and could afford).

Bottle. Pours a hazy orange/straw, with a thin head that quickly dissipates.Taste is a very wheaty, but a little boring. Honestly, I don’t mean this in a mean way, but the aroma reminds me of the smell of my vomit after a long night of drinking Keystone Light. I like what they’re going for here with it being unfiltered, but... I still don’t love it.

Sample at 9th Street Grill in Mt. Vernon, IL. The beer is a hazy light yellow color with a thin white head that disappears quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Mild wheat aroma with notes of tangy fruit. Light, smooth body with flavors of wheat, malt and fruit. The finish is clean and watery with a short fruity aftertaste. Overall pretty uninspired.

Well, I knew what I was getting into with the unfiltered part but, I didn’t expect the amount of crap I ran into. I was an OK beer that I felt like I was eating more than drinking.

Probablyone my favorite beers to drink. I enjoy this all times of the year. I believe it tastes better out of the tap instead of the bottle. Yellow body color with a clear head. Great citrus flavor and wonderful served with a lemon.

Unclear yellow of color with a white head. An aroma of wheat, fruits and weak sweets. A flavor of wheat, weak sweet and cloves notes.

Bottle thanks to nuplastikk sampled on 7/26/09: Pours a transparent pale golden with a frothy well-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet malted wheat with a touch of light fruity esters. Body starts with average fullness and mild sweet wheatiness along with a hint of clove and grassy hoppy bitterness before a smooth, clean finish. Very drinkable but not too distinctive.
