COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Irish Ale, Boulevard’s spring seasonal beer, is our Midwestern tribute to the legendary red ales of old Ireland. Our recipe combines six kinds of pale and roasted barley malts to provide a rich, toasty flavor and tawny reddish hue. Whole hops are added to enhance the beer’s complexity and to produce a pleasing balance.

Bottle. Pours a a deep amber with lots of light tan head. Great retention and a some thin lacing, looks very inviting. Aroma is sweet malt, bread, yeast, caramel/toffee. Flavor is fruity, strong apple, with a malty, nutty, caramel finish. Moderate carbonation, medium-light body, and crisp texture. Super drinkable, light, tasty, fruity, mildly malty ale, pretty tasty. One of the better irish ales I’ve had.

Elwood (2552) - Leesburg, Virginia, USA - JUN 2, 2013
Serving: 12 oz. bottle from State Line Liquors. It pours a solid red color with a decent head of loose, off white bubbles. The nose is a mix of bread and malt with a touch of earthiness. The flavor highlights the malt with a little sweetness, slight toasted notes, and a little bit of nuttiness. Smooth on the tongue with a dry finish that has a touch of bitterness. Medium bodied with lower carbonation. A solid session beer for malt fans. I found this one rather enjoyable.

This was like a light Scottish ale for me. I’ve had this numerous times and it doesn’t overly impress. It may just be that the style lacks something. Malty sweet aroma and a brown, tea-colored presence with a medium fizzy head. Medium weight palate with average carbonation. Light malty taste with some sweet and maybe a little hops presence on the finish. The beer is not bad, just average.

I’m not sure what there is to enjoy about this beer, it had no taste and finished super dry, so maybe thats it, it looks good.. nice dark ruby but not a real tasty beer.

Thanks Uncle Dave. Nice balanced all around beer. Dry finish. A little light in the mellow roasted flavor for an Irish ale but still pretty good stuff. Serving: Bottle
