Tap at WTF 2. Pours a cloudy ruby with medium off white head that lasts. The aroma is strong funk, oak, cherry skin. Thin mouth, tart cherry, oak, funk, really nice.

Draft 10 oz pour at Special Brews. Pours a glowing reddish orange color with no head. Big sour fruit, winish aroma. Heavier body with a nice sour orange fruit and berry flavor. Lingering tart finish with a late hour of lemon. Has the make up of some of my favorite sours. Incredible stuff. Waiting for projekt #2 already.

I have been trying to chase down the top 5 of Blvd ratings for a while. To make it harder, Blvd decided to start making a lot more variety of beers since I moved away. This was one of the first that I was very disappointed to miss. Then Brouwer’s in Seattle has a Sour Fest and had this. I needed to be there. I showed up right after work and the line was up the street. I was pissed. I then came back at night. No line, awesome. Not much people inside. Beers kicked, none that I cared about - woooo!!!.
Ruby grapefruit color. Small ring of head. The barrel is strong in this one. Leafy wood. Moderate cherry jolly rancher sourness, not quiet acetic. Flavor is amazingly clean juice drying sour abating the negative acetic qualities. Just clear and pointed sourness. Real drying and grapefruit sour finish. Light body. I really enjoyed this, much more than I thought I would.

6oz pour at Smoke and Barrel. Pours a murky amber with some spitty cream colored head. Nose is musty, some cooked greens, some sour mash, some berry, some vinegar, mild funk. Flavor is very tart, berry, some wood pulp, grapefruit meat. Tart finish. Not bad, maybe a bit young.

On tap @ What the Funk Denver 2014. Copper appearance with an off white head. Dark berry / cherry fruit in the nose. Some acetic notes as well. Definitely a fair amount of vinegar / acetic acid in the flavor. Moderately tart. Nice woody notes. Black cherry flavor. Drinks pretty good. I probably like this better than some of the Love Child releases.

Draught at EBF, 3/22/14
White head disappears as it hits the glass and a slightly hazed, light amber colored liquid is left.
Lactic sourness in the nose is promising. Only a faint notion of acetic acid, thankfully, contributing a touch of spoiled fruitiness to mix with the cheesey lactic notes. Some brett helps brighten things and as the finish arrives, a multitude of basement notes emerge. Musty wool, horseblanket, fresh lettuce, celery and raw meat to name a few. Somewhat light on the strength, probably due to the low carbonation, but what’s there is very interesting and complex.
Unfortunately, it’s incredibly overattenuated in the mouth. Beyond bone dry, with plenty of acidic astringency and a papery, almost oxidized texture. Low, loose carbonation contributes a watery feel and though the flavors that are here are quite nice (plenty of horsey, cheesey, fruity bacterial notes), it’s just got no body whatsoever. Like some of the French red wines I’ve had that are intentionally brett-infected, though probably even less body and sweetness than those...Definitely needs a young, sweeter beer blended in.

Approximately 10 oz tulip draft pour at Waldo Pizza in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is a hazed orange brown with not much head. The aroma is soft vinegar, really gentle sour cherry notes and a general oak woodiness. Nice engaging nose.The taste is a nicely approachable lemon citrus mild vinegar sour cherry. The oak carries the finish, with a hint of funk. The palate is medium bodied with not much to almost no carbonation. Really interesting and fun beer that could be a base of a fantastic sour blend. Thanks for sharing this one Boulevard.
