100th Review Spectacular: Boulevard Irish Ale

Boulevard Brewing Company
Kansas City, MO

APPEARANCE: 2.5/3
Red-brown color. Crystal clear. Thin head. Nice, if typical.

AROMA: 3/4
Clean, very sweet–brown sugar, subtle nuttiness. All malt, no hop aroma.

TASTE: 7.25/10
Hop/Malt Balance: 3/4: Malt dominant. Brown sugar. Some nuttiness, some woodiness, some grassiness. Lots of 'ness.
Aftertaste: 2.25/3: Sweet, fades to subtle hop bitterness (which is nice). Clean finish.
Mouth-Feel: 2/3: Sweet, bubbly, very refreshing. Body appropriate to style.

OVERALL: 2/3: Classic malty Irish Ale–a good spring session beer. A popular Boulevard offering, and rightly so.

TOTAL: 14.75/20–I'll Try A Pint

NOTES:
Matt: A good Irish–I don't love the style, but it's a nice reminder that spring is coming, and it's nice for a change. Not bad.
Ben: It's always worth picking up a six of this Boulevard seasonal when it's available. Far superior to Killian's.
