COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Double-Wide I.P.A. uses Columbus and Magnum hops for both bittering and aroma with Chinook hops added in the whirlpool. It is dry hopped with generous amounts of Cascade, Centennial, and Chinook hops. The resulting beer has a hop forward aroma, redolent of peach and apricot. The assertive flavor bursts with the citrus qualities of blood orange and lemon with a slight caramel malt backbone to balance the intense hop flavor. There is little restraint in the flavor of this beer; it is certainly not for the pedestrian palate.

This IPA is among one of the best I’ve tried to date. I wouldn’t say it is perfect, but it’s certainly great for a few glasses and a good evening. Tastes like summer.

One of the best IPA’s out there. Pours a cloudy, unfiltered rust/bronze with a fascinating spicy nose. The palate is singular as an IPA as it delivers complexity not evident in most beers in this category. Spiced orange and peach with Meyer lemon. Endless finish.

My girlfriend told her mom to get me a double IPA, she had no idea what to get and got me this. Needless to say she should go on more of my beer runs, this beer I have never seen in Wisconsin and I wish they had it up there because it is a really great double IPA

12 oz bottle into smokestack glass. Pours a hazy near ruby color. Huge fluffy head on it that sticks up half an inh above the glass and fades slowly. Big hop aroma with some apricot and pine. Not as harshly bitter as I expected. A nice malt balance. Great beer.

Thanks to wimperoo for this. Pours a deep golden with a thin white top. Aroma is intense pine hops with a stickly sweetness like honey. Taste is a full frontal bitterness attack of pine hops with a floral flavouring. Well balanced with light toffee malts. Slightly resinous and all awesome.

Thinker (32) - Littleton, Colorado, USA - FEB 14, 2012
Reddish brown with a fantastic thick light brown head. Has a very carbonated smell, almost like Champaign. Flavor is crisp clean caramel malty taste, slighty woody. Can’t go wrong with Boulevard!

VTHopHead (1387) - Barre, Vermont, USA - FEB 12, 2012
Bottle/12oz - Pours a dark orange amber in color with a big foamy light tan head that faded very slowly and produced some really nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is heavy with both floral and citrus hoppiness. Flavor is also quite hoppy and medium bitter. Some lingering sweetness at the very end of a quite bitter and dry finish. No balance, but I really like the hops...

Had this from the bottle, nice lacing, and is a nice amber color. Nice grassy hops taste.

Poured from a bottle into a goblet. Golden, amber color. Well carbonated. Two fingers of head on the pour take a long time to dissipate. Lots of lace up the side. Very complex aroma, with floral, hoppy and licorice notes. Caramel malt also comes through. Very strong, alcohol taste, with well-balanced bitterness and sweetness. Finishes bitter. Lots of body and lingers in the mouth for some time. Overall, an enjoyable beer.

bottle - Pours hazy orange with a one finger light tan head. The aroma is big on the citrus hops. The flavor is full of crisp, bitter citrus hops with a little herbal note. It’s medium bodied and quite good though not my favorite among beers of the style.
