Boulevard Amber Ale is an exceptionally well-balanced beer, complex yet thirst-quenching. American pale malt provides a firm foundation. English specialty malts impart a nutty sweetness, perfectly complemented by noble German hops. The deep coppery color holds the light, reflecting a ruddy glow, and the finish is clean, round, and delicious.

A - Hazy amber brew with a small gray-white head. Good lacing.
S - Toasty with a good deal of caramel. Slightly hoppy with dried autumn leaf notes.
T - Malty. Toasted grains, caramel, toffee, and a hint of pumpkin pie. Some nice hops come into play towards the off-dry finish.
M - Medium bodied, chewy.
A great session brew. This is well balanced (but leaning more towards malty as befits the style). I'd buy this again for sure. I'm a big Boulevard fan and this is a great offering from a great brewery.

Amber Ale has been retired, and I guess I get why. As good as Pale Ale is, why bother making something that is kind of similar? I had this in a sampler pack and it was good, but just kind of there. Others in the package were much more interesting, which is probably an opinion that a lot of other people had now that this one's been mothballed. Maybe they'll tweak it and give it another try - I'd be game.
