3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a clear golden copper color with a thin white head. Aroma is faint and slightly hoppy. Some malt and grain in the flavor, and a nice amount of hops. Nothing too complex, but a good, easy-drinking beer.

Pour is normal. Slight white/tan foamy head. Light copper color. Slightly cloudy. Taste starts with hops and ends with lemon peels. Not bad.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
The aroma was much more malty than hoppy, which was odd considering this pale was meant to be well-hopped. Not bad, but the grain really stood out here.
The appearance was quite good, clear but not too clear, and nice effervescence running the length of the glass. Head retention also good.
Flavor left a little to be desired, but overall pretty good. Again the malt really takes over the taste buds, but there is a good evenness to its bittering. Aftertaste is also over shadowed by the malty overtones.
Palate is a bit heavy for its style, carbonation is fine, but sits a bit too heavy for a pale.
Overall, pretty good pale, could tone down the malt and increase the hops if that is what Boulevard is going for here. But a pretty decent, drinkable pale.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
tasted on a trip out of state to nashville. solid aroma of hops, malt, and citrus, and a hint of darker fruit, like plum. Flavor consists mostly of hops and citrus, with a nice full mouthfeel at first sip, lingers nicely. A good pale ale.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
An OK beer...or maybe I’m not a fan pale ale beers. Most notable thing was the unusual rust/dark orange color. Taste was alright but left a dry after taste..not what I prefer. Not a beer I would probably try or recommend.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a rusty golden color with very little head. Aroma of hops, sweet malt, and citrus. Taste is citrusy hops with some other fruity notes, like pineapple, with a slightly dry and bitter finish. Overall, a mild, refreshing, albeit average, ale.
3.9 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Nothing exciting, but very good light hop flavor. Could buy again. Muchas gracias Boulevard.
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Hazy golden color with a nice finger of white head and ample lacing. Equal blend of pale malts and hops in the nose. Much more subdued malt backbone in the taste. A nice pale beer with a good but light hop finish that lasts all the way through. I can do with more subdued hoppiness but when a beer is thin on simple malt, I’ll stick with Sierra Nevada. Good but no need to go back to this one.
