Cherry Lime Radler
Boulevard Brewing Co.

 

Cloudy, almost murky cherry red color with a decent foamy pink head that subsides to just a ring but does manage some pink lacing.
The aroma is tart pie cherries and lime, very nice.
The taste is likewise very nice tart cherries with a nice touch of lime, pleasantly tart, slightly sweet, very enjoyable.
The body is light/medium, fairly smooth, nice carbonation.
Altogether this is a very enjoyable brew for a hot summer day or anytime, i don't believe i could drink a lot of these at one time, but could really enjoy a few now and then.

 

a little more flavored to me than the ginger lime edition, more intense fruit levels make it seems a bit more soda-like, even a little more artificial, but no denying it tastes good, summery and bold, but its not something i could make an afternoon of either, with the stay on the palate fruitiness and residual sugar, but this is a style for pounding, so we are at somewhat of a crossroads with it. boulevard has really leaned into this slightly sour fruited thing this summer, with mixed success. both fruits are equal in aroma and flavor here, and this tastes better than it smells. the lime has some acid, a zested thing, and still some lemon backing it to me, while the cherry is almost medicinal and sugary, but balanced by the overall tartness of the beer, i kind of taste them both on different parts of my tongue. i wish this were scaled back slightly because i like the flavors, but at this level its jolly rancher-esque, stays too long on the finish too. the tartness is clean, the base beer may not be a lager, which i think is traditional for a radler, but this isnt about any base beer at all, its about cherry and lime. not as sessionable as it should be, but it tastes good, credit for that. this series has been fun, but for the most part too much fruit flavor in these beers, the base has no identity at all...

12 oz can pours a murky red, like tomato juice but clearer. Pinkish white foam disappears quickly. Smell is of sweet fruit. Taste is wonderful, a nice tartness is present, as well as juicy flavors of cherry and lime. Mouthfeel is prickly, like a soda.

Good beer.

This slapped. I've only had about 5-7 things from this brewery but everything I've had has been damn near excellent. The cherry flavor is more like cherry pie and not cherry candy and the lime rounds it out. Absolutely would have this again.

 

 

Poured from a 12oz can: Poured a cloudy red color with a thick 1.5-2 finger pinkish white color head. Good amount of lacing and carbonation as well. Upon pouring and tasting, you get obvious notes of lime and cherry. The nose really parallels the taste with this one. The lime isn't aggressive, and the cherry isn't too sweet. A simple, well balanced, easy drinking beer.

12oz can. Best by Oct 9, 2020. Beer with cherry, lime, and natural flavors. 4.1% ABV. Sample from the brewery.

Murky red with a soft pink lace. Very aromatic with a ton of cherry and lime. Crisp, lively, and light. Semi-sweet and very tart with a ton of cherry juice and a sharp lime bite. Bone-dry and moreish.

Straight-forward, as advertised ("tart, cherry, zing"), and incredibly refreshing.

 

Pours a ruby red. Lots of carbonation after pouring. Cherry and citrus in the taste; thin, highly bubbly finish. It’s a refreshing summer beer, but it’s not my favorite of Boulevard’s radlers.

12oz can. Poured out a cloudy, ruby color with a small, pinkish/cream colored head of foam. It smelled of lots of lime and cherry. Sweet cherry with very tart lime. So refreshing.
