COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Boulevard Lunar Ale is a cloudy, russet brown beer, with subtle aromatic notes provided by our special proprietary yeast strain. Lunar Ale’s distinctive rounded, mellow flavor is crowned by a crisp, dry finish. The old world art of bottle conditioning creates a secondary fermentation, resulting in a beer that tastes fresher, better, longer.

Bottle- Lunar pours a hazy dark amber color with a light head that fades quickly. It has a pleasant grain smell, but nothing distinct. The taste was initially a bit sweet with a mild citrus finish. The feel was light and no lingering taste. It goes down smooth & easy. This was a pleasant brew for relaxing but that’s about it.

Slightly cloudy amber brown with a small sized white foamy head. The aroma is wheaty, yeasty and sweet. There is a sort of lactic/tart quality here as well. Comes off as a little yeasty and wheaty with some spicy hops. Thin and muddy, kind of bland.Finish is crisp with a tart aftertaste.

This was not what I was expecting at all. It wasn’t bad but it felt like it was heading in the direction of a dunkel version of an American wheat ale. Unremarkable but I think I may need to try again. Serving: Bottle

Hazy light brown. Dusty banana bread aroma with some light cloves and phenols. Thinnish, bready body, lots of carbonation, fairly dry finish.

Bready aroma with some minor nutty notes. Chestnut brown pour, nearly clear. Head rapidly dissipates, but is white and frothy. Starts bready and full of a mild sweet malt moving into a nutty finish. A medium body overall with an interesting finish. Unique from your common ale.

Hey, it’s alright. A nice bit of yeast, smooth, satisfying. You might try a couple of these at a time.

Clear reddish pour. Fratto provided. Sweet hops and fruit on the nose. Flavor is weak grains and light metallic flavors. Quite the letdown.

Pours a clear medium brown with moderate head. Trying to give this a good review, as I do enjoy several Boulevard offerings. I just do not care for this very much. Has something in the taste that does not agree with me. It is fresh (Best by Sept. date) and I purchased within hour of brewery. Just not my style/flavor and not like any dunkel I’ve had.

This was part of a mixed sixer I got at Brewtopia in Omaha. It’s a hazy orangey-brown topped with a creamy ivory colored head. There’s a wheaty aroma, clove and banana aromas are present as well. Fruity. Flavor has prominent banana and sweet spice. Clove is quite evident. It’s a lightly dry mouth, clean finish. As you make you way through the bottle, the aftertaste gets sweeter and stickier. Wow, what a surprise. I certainly wasn’t expecting this beer to be a dunkel weisse and I certainly didn’t expect it to be so tasty. Well done.

Just a dunkel, not much else to say about an unexciting and unappealing brew...
