Tasting Room Series: Southern Hemisphere IPA
Boulevard Brewing Co.

slight haze on the bright yellow brew with plenty of foam in the Hopleaf goblet. Aroma of lime and pine. Resiny flavor with some citrus. Tangy and then bitter. Moderately sweet and rather malty, though it goes well with the big hop taste.

Sprightly mouthfeel with sharp fruity flavors. Pineapple nose. The aromatics linger nicely, even for a nine-month old IPA. From the mixed six-pack of three IPAs. Bottled date is 09/Dec/2018. Purchased at a liquor store in Lake Stevens, Wash.

12oz bottle. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, white head of foam. Smelled of grapefruit, orange and tropical fruits. Tasted of toasted caramel with tropical fruitiness with a hint of pine.

12 oz. bottle:

Pours slightly hazed golden yellow with a thin lasting head. Minimal lacing.

The smell is of lemongrass, tropical fruitiness, some cracker.

The taste is of tropical fruit, lemongrass. Biscuit/wet cracker background. Some alcohol warmth. Dryness lingers through the finish.

It is spritzy - borderline fizzy. A bit sharp. Finish lingers.

Nice use of Australian hops. Hop-forward with medium bitterness. An interesting brew.

 

 

 

Small pour, slightly hazy golden, small head and good lacing. Nose very mild, some pine and citrus. Taste is also surprising light for a DDH. Finish is quite bitter. Average body and average carbonation.

 

 

Pours a hazy, nearing on murky, orange with a finger and a half of white foam. Head formation is dense and retains well. Aroma is orange, tangerine, pine, and dry floral. It has toasty, biscuity, nutty malts behind. Flavor profile is dry floral, spicy, pine, tangerine, and orange hops with toasty, biscuity, nutty malt notes behind. Hops balance out well over the malts and are unique to typical American hops. Mouth feel has a sharp crispness, and bubbly effervescence and softens out at the end. It has a medium thickness. Overall, an intriguing and unique IPA. Big notes all around.

Served in a 12oz snifter from a 12oz bottle.

 

Slightly cloudy yellow-orange color. 2 fingers of white foam. Awesome lacing.

White grape flesh, citrus zest, mango, tangerine. Flavors are more prevalent in the taste than the nose. Slightly spicy peppery finish. Some bitterness but quite balanced.

Very smooth mouthfeel bordering on creamy.

Another nice offering from Boulevard. Citrus and white grape play nicely together. Recommended.

Fruit Bomb. However, there is a very nice grape/peppercorn backbone to balance things out. Very nice beer.
