    Per the Boulevard website, there will be a new Smokestack Series beer coming in June.

    Tell-Tale Tart
    April 17, 2015

    When we first shared our 2015 release calendar back in December, we indicated that we were planning to brew at least twelve new beers this year. What we didn’t share is that we had a couple of test beers in the development phase that we weren’t quite ready to discuss.

    We’ve recently received label approval from the TTB for one of these projects and are very excited to share some preliminary details for a brand new beer, Tell-Tale Tart.

    [​IMG]
    Joining our year-round lineup of Smokestack Series four packs, Tell Tale Tart is presented as “a slightly sour ale” that derives pleasant, refreshing lactic acidity from brewhouse souring, a process of lowering the pH during the brewing process. The brewhouse souring method results in a crisp, clean acidity that serves as a contrast to a soft, subtly sweet malt character contributed by our base pale malt and Munich malt.

    Once Tell-Tale Tart has completed the bottle conditioning process, we’ll be able to share more specific sensory notes.

    Tell-Tale Tart is slated for a June release and will ultimately be available year round in four packs of twelve ounce bottles. Stay tuned for more news!

    A new year-round Boulevard sour, in 12 ounce bottles, no less! Excellent.

    First two iterations of Love Child, now a year round sour! I'm happy that big brewing companies are taking steps toward year-round sour offerings. Well done, Boulevard!

    Hopefully this one comes to my area in Frederick MD. We get limited Boulevard distribution. Love Child, Rye on Rye and Saison Brett never made it out to any stores in my area (looking in at least 5-10 different stores in our county and never have seen these).

    Slightly sour? This ushering in the new "session sour" trend? Looking forward to trying.

    This years' LoveChild was spot on. Hopefully we get more of the same there!

    This will hit the shelves in KC today. Probably will hit the rest of Missouri by the end of the week through next week and then spread to other states soon. Definitely looking forward to trying this.

    I thought it was good. People around here lost their minds for it, though.
