Commercial Description:
Boulevard Irish Ale, our springtime seasonal beer, is patterned after red ales that have a rich Irish heritage. Our recipe combines five kinds of malt to provide a complex, toasty flavor and reddish hue. Nugget and English Kent Golding hops are added to enhance the beer's complexity and to produce a pleasing balance.

Golden red, toasty aroma but balanced with notes of something sweet...can’t put my finger on it. Flavor of malts, nuts, toast. Thin but smooth and dry finished, well balanced.

Hazy red-brown with slowly dissipating thin off-white head. Aroma of toasted malts, nuts, sweet malts, caramel, brown sugar and mild citrus. Taste of caramel, nuts, sweet malt and mild citrus. A little thin on the body with a dry finish.

Poured from the bottle dark red-brown in color with a small head that diminished after a minute or so. Aroma is sweet caramel with a good ester nose. Flavor is malty sweet, dry at the start and a great light creaminess throughout the drink. As it warms, the aroma notes really permeate the nose and enhances the flavor quite well. Pretty good Irish ale.

Caramel. Caramel. Love this brew though the caramel is somewhat overbearing. Smooth though. I have never had any complaints with boulevard brewing company. they put out fine products and this coming from an irishman, is one of their best. to note the nose gets better as you go.

Bottle… Lightly hazed mahogany ale with a small, frothy, off-white head. Decent retention. Earthy, vinous aroma. Malty with lots of minerals and port esters. Medium-bodied and ultra-creamy with ticklish carbonation. Medium metallic bitterness surrounds a sturdy malt framework. Lengthy finish that is caramel-sweet up front, yet moderately bitter on the back of the tongue. <b>A big THANKS goes out to headbanger for shipping this bottle to me!</b>
