| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 30, 2009 The Dan Journal #266. Tasted 6/22/09. 750ml cork and cage. Slightly hazy with a golden yellow hue. Layer of whhite head. Banana aroams with a lot of citrus fruit and a subtle berry ester. Mildly peppery. Full bodied with a huge effervescence. Which I found to be a attribute. Chalky, perfumy and citrusy. Tingling tart and sour flavor. Nice bitterness. Very nice palate roll. Lively and complex with a great bright character. Well done! beerdad (90), Kansas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 28, 2009 Bottled. The smokestack series from Blvd is a pretty decent set overall. Pours cloudy golden, with medium off white head. Aromas contain alcoholic hints, coriander, clove, and citrus rind. Flavors are of corander, clove, and orange. While this is not my favorite type of beer it is decent and if you like witbeir you may think it is worth the money. bleeng (601), Spring near Beersel, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 21, 2009 750 bottle. Hazy gold with a diminishing head. Nose is strangely silent, with only hints of spices, alcohol, yeast and hops. Taste is another matter, as this beer attacks the taste buds with carbonation, orange peel, alcohol, perfume, spices, sweetness, a bit of funk/skunk. Very easy to drink but still very challenging to palate. I like. BeerandBlues2 (3237), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 19, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy and lightly cloudy dark yellow with an average, frothy white head, mostly lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, straw, hay), average hop (flowers, perfume), heavy yeast (horse blanket, barnyard) with notes of clove, dates, pepper, nutmeg, coriander, cardamom, and lavender. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and an astringent finish. Long duration, light sweetness and bitterness, moderate acidity. jkwalking05 (1501), Arlington, Texas, USA

Medium body, lightly lactic tartness and gingery notes, again very spicy and hot with a yeasty edge. No bitterness but a light tartness in the finish. Very interesting. 110709 djd07 (757), Houston, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Aug 15, 2009 Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy orange golden with a medium frothy off white head that lasts awhile leaving good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is floral with banana clove and citrus. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet citrus and coriander and a nice spicy finish. A good Wit from Boulevard. jrob21 (1283), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 14, 2009 Bottle from Soonah. Pours a cloudy dark orange color with a one finger size white head. Spice and clove like aroma. Nice body but not as big as some others I have had here recently. The wheat is quite muted but working in the background. Flavor is a lot of fruit upfront that finishes slightly spicy and with a faint hop bitterness. Fruit is mostly apple with some orange and a little lemon. Nice complexity here. I keep trying to decipher the full flavor profile. All of it is quite entertaining for a beer.
