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.

Courtesy of kmweaver. Hazy amber body with a medium-sized beige head. Bready, cracker nose with light caramel and herbal hops. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter taste with cracker, vienna malts, cookie dough and herbs. Medium/light body is round with moderate carbonation.

12oz bottle, courtesy of pepsican. Thanks, Andy! Pours a hazy, reddish tea-like color; light tan head with fine-bubbled lacing. Solid amounts of tea, earthiness, and mineral hop bitterness in the aroma. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: crisp carbonation; lively citrus and earthy bitterness, candy sugar; biscuity malts; the English bitterness is soft, slightly chewy; very nice, drinkable beer. Medium finish: breadiness, earthy malts, and some lingering bitterness.

Bottle. Pour is a lovely copper/amber color with a two-finger tan head. Aromas are of bread dough maltiness with a bit of a piney character to the hops which makes it smell fresh and crisp. The resin-like hops doesn’t come through much in the flavor, and taste is dominated by malty bread and caramel. Still, it’s pretty decent.

St. Patty’s day. Aroma is caramel malt, grainy, a bit herbal as well. Lightly toasted grains, some smoke, and barley flavors. Finishes grassy and slighty bitter. An American take on an Irish red.

Oh, just to be predictable, a few irish style beers for st patricks. This is not a bad start. Pours a nice dark copper, an orangish head the fades pretty fast. The smell is sweet with a hint of grassiness. A nice malty flavor to it, but the body is a bit overly carbonated and bright to my tastes. It’s a solid effort.

HomeBrewHawk (421) - De Soto, Kansas, USA - MAR 9, 2008
12 oz. bottle served in a shaker pint. Pours a pretty reddish gold with a thick head. Crisp hop aroma with caramel malt. Sweet maltiness up front, caramel. Medium bodied. Creamy mouthfeel. Fresh hop flavor. Very easy drinking. This beer is a great example of the beauty of fresh, local beer. Nothing spectacular, but when you get it in season, it really shines.

On tap. Has a nice brown color with white head. Smells of hops and caramel. Tastes great. Nice balance...love the hops in this one! Medium body with a slightly bitter aftertaste.
