2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle best by 01/31/09. Poured golden with an off-white head that settle to nothing. Grainy aroma with some light citrus hops. The flavor found light malts, mixed with plenty of citrus. Light body, tingly carbonation, lasting bitter citrus aftertaste. This one was pretty much all over the place. No consistency.

Bottle. A decent APA. Yellowish to orange in color no head. Decent beer. Smooth not that hoppy of a beer.

Great beer, has a good balance of hops, but I’m a fan of IPA’s so there could be a little more. Has a nice copper color and a perfect white head. Aroma isn’t too strong, unlike an IPA. Anything Boulevard is a great.

On tap at the flying saucer in KC. Pours a light copper body with a nice, creamy white head that dissipates slowly and remains moderately laced. Aroma is mainly caramel malts and fruity. Some hoppiness to it. Flavor is very fruity and caramel malty as well. Decent hop taste for a widely available pale ale. Palate is easy drinking, medium bodied, and very clean. Overall, one of my all time favorite go to beers. Very reliable.

Bottle. Copper pour, white head. Aroma is malty and has some slight hop notes. Flavor is malty and bland. A slight hop note...eh.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
This is a decent Pale. Nice session beer, or a beer to have on a hot day with some brats or BBQ. Nothing super special in the style, but always welcome in my fridge.
