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.

Super dark red color with a small tan head. Has a nice roasty taste that is rather smooth.

tennessejed420 (838) - Denver, Colorado, USA - APR 17, 2011
bottle. Pours dark, slightly murky red brown with fizzy grey head. Mild aroma of toast, caramel. Medium bodied, with a very chalky mouthfeel, and a dry finish. Surprised by a high amount of carbonation here. Flavor of dry, grassy hops with some roasted brown malt, as it gets warms a subtle caramel / toffee sweetness. I was blown away by every boulevard smokestack series but have yet to be impressed really with any of there mainline beers. Still a decent ale, not sorry to be drinking it.

Nice red pour with a creamy whitish head. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel, honey and very very light hops. Flavor is mostly malt, some honey notes, alcohol, fruit and almonds.

Poured redish maple in color. Nose had very little except roasted barley. Taste was ok with toasted malts and a little toffee. Drinkable but not something special.

savnac (1365) - Anchorage, Alaska, USA - APR 4, 2011
12 oz bottle. Clear red/amber with a thick beige head. Aroma of biscuit dough, caramel and a light herbal quality. Flavor is lots of bready and caramel malt with a very light hop bitterness. Medium body with average carbonation and a smooth mouth feel. Great Irish Ale, lots of flavor and very drinkable.

troopie (1557) - Munchen an der Willamette, Oregon, USA - APR 2, 2011
Bottle . Red pour with lasting off white head. Rich aroma of caramel. Toasty flavor, whough with something slightly off putting in the finish. Still, more good than bad in this ale.
