Boulevard Amber Ale

Boulevard Brewing Company
Kansas City, MO

APPEARANCE: 2.5/3
Nice, pretty - deep dark reddish color. Foamy, almond head. Slight haze. Maple syrup color.

AROMA: 2.75/4
Sweet and malty. Brown sugar notes. Subtle nuttiness. Minimal hop.

TASTE: 4/10
Hop/Malt Balance: 1/4: Zero hop - all malt. Really sweet and sugary - too much so.
Aftertaste: 1.5/3: Real sweet - beginning, middle, and end. Subtle pumpkin-spice flavor. No hop bitterness or flavoring.
Mouth-Feel: 1.5/3: Thin, watery, fizzy, and harsh.

OVERALL: 2/3: Not that good a beer. Tasteless, bland, and watery. Needs a lot more hop and a dryer finish.

TOTAL: 10.75/20–Anything Else On Tap?

NOTES:
Matt: A forgettable beer from a brewer that can make great beer. An attempt to woo Fat Tire drinkers apparently.
Ben: If you want an Amber then by all means drink Alaskan not this.
