Bought at shitty Arlens, thanks Scoobs .. . Pours a medium tan copper, light foam, no lacing .. . light malt, copper, dead yeast, and wet wood .. . um, this was a couple months past date but i did some what enjoy it til it started warming up .. . oh well .. . . can you do better on the ice crusher? -900 firm ...

Lovely dark red-copper color. Spicy-hop nose with some toasted malts. Just a light touch of caramel malt in the taste, pleasant spicy-hop taste and moderate bitterness over light sweetness. Finishes dry. An excellent drinking beer.

Poured into a pint glass. Hazy copper color with a tight finger of head. Mild malt smell. Honey, light bitterness... and nothing else. Light body, crisp and refreshing. Nothing much going on here. Easy enough to drink and I would choose it over the macros, but not much else going for it.

The aroma starts with hints of bread, nuts, and a floral note. Pours a clear reddish-amber, with a full white head. Apple notes come out in the beer itself, with a touch of nuts and floral hops in the finish. Light on the palate, and drinkable, nothing out of the ordinary.

12 oz. from Chuck’s. Unimpressive amber that tastes a little mealy. Label copy touts additional yeast added at bottling to add complexty. Not sure I believe them.

12oz bottle poured into shaker. Best by date of 3/3/12 Aroma: Caramel, hay, roasty, coffee, grass, floral, leaves, dark fruits Appearance: coppery pour with very little head that faded quickly. fairly clear until yeast was poured in from end of bottle Taste: medium sweet, light sour, extremely light bitter Palate: medium body, thin texture, average carbonation. slightly bitter finish. bit of a sour twang in the finish also Overall: Bottle was past the best by date by a few weeks. DIdn’t do much for me. Aroma was decent as was the taste but the palate seemed off. I could drink this but probably wouldn’t pick it again. Poured the end of the bottle into my glass to get some of the yeast. Seemed to improve the palate a bit. Still not very impressed.

Amber-red, short off white head. Slightly cloying fruit scent....malt. Taste is mild malt, subtle hops, apple peel, light, smooth, slightly metallic. Very clean, easy tasting beer...pleasant.

Pours light amber with an off-white head. Smells is a little malty, toasted biscuits with a touch of nuttiness. Taste is of sweet malts, nutty, and just sweet. Light-to-medium bodied with a wet texture and mild mouth-carbonation, Boulevard Amer Ale finishes with a hint of sweetness.

Deep hazy red with a fluffy head that faded quickly. Mild aroma, perhaps a light apple scent. Medium carbonation and a nice coppery taste which lingers on the tongue. Definite apple on the end. Quite nice.

Sample at Ale Wine & Spirits in Powell on 03/01/2012. Pours a dark amber color with a medium off-white head that recedes quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malt and mild hops. Light body with flavors of sweet malt and caramel with a touch of hops in the background. The finish is sweet with a short malt aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

UPDATED: FEB 28, 2012 Light reddish brown with thin white head. Very light malty aroma. Taste starts sweet with nutty and lightly roasted malt. Finish is slightly biter. Thin with light carbonation.
