Specimen for analysis is a standard 12-oz can with a best by date about 10 weeks from now.
A: Crystal clear solid yellow to light gold. It's pretty. Head died quickly. Little bit of lacing.
S: Dominated by citrus. Not overwhelming. Maybe a hint of sweet grain aroma in the background.
T: Immediate citrus and pine flavor with a firm bitterness. Bitterness fades quickly.
M: Slightly under carbonated. Finishes thin.
O: It's a solid beer all around. However, it is exceedingly generic in the world of IPAs.

Heavy Lifting pours a copper color, with a small, but long lasting and lacing head. Aroma is sweet, and has a nice floral finish. Flavor is strong, balanced, a little sweet, some earth notes, but a nice floral finish. Good body and feel. Overall, a very solid no frills IPA.

Appearance: Clear gold, good head.
Smell: Moderate citrus aroma.
Taste: West coast IPA, pretty good bitterness here. Lemon flavor in the hops.
Overall: Last one in the mix pack. Another solid but unremarkable beer from Boulevard. Like many breweries their standards are good but nothing too interesting, but hold on to your hat for some of their special releases.

Boulevard, bring this back! Better west coast IPA than is available from the left coast.

Very nicely-done, refreshing IPA. Dark golden color with some head and a little spotty lingering lacing. Smells nice, mainly citrus and pine hops. Tastes of nice tropical citrus zest, pine hops, malt and a little vanilla and caramel. Smooth mild mouthfeel and nice carbonation. Very sessionable and flavorful.
