American Pale Ale
Boulevard Pale Ale is a smooth, fruity, well-balanced beer with year-round appeal. A variety of caramel malts imparts a rich flavor and amber color, while liberal use of Cascade hops adds zest and aroma. Pale Ale is the first beer we brewed, and continues to be a perennial favorite.

12oz bottle scored via trade with inkubus27. Thanks Tim! Pours a hazy, copper, orange amber with a thin, white, lacing head. Well balanced aroma of slight pine hops, some grapefruit, crackers, caramel malts. Flavor is very nice, simple but extremely drinkable. Earthy hops, slight pine, slight citrus, some faint tropical fruits. Very earthy. Finish has some lasting bitterness and is a bit dry. Session beer for sure and very nice.

12 ounce bottle from the Libation Station in Johnson City, TN. Pours a slightly hazy orange color with a medium head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of leafy, citrus hops and caramel. Taste is very similar with a little more leafyness. Medium bodied.

12 oz. bottle. From a 12-pack sampler of 6 different Boulevard beers at Hy-Vees across Iowa. Brassy body with a little haze, steady stream of bubbles under a thick white head. Hops in smell are friendlier than your Alpha King, More sharp than citrusy, balanced by malts. Taste is well-balanced, too. If it’s the same hop bill that Boulevard started with, before the hop-head craze, it shows. Clean and inviting, more German crispness, with a bit of floral note, against a mildly sweet but chewy caramel base. Maybe a bit strong to be a session beer, but you could still have two or three at one sitting.

Tap at Seamus McDaniel’s in Dogtown, St. Louis, MO. Light amber color with a creamy off-white head. Light bitter aroma over mild roasted malt. Medium body with mild carbonation. Spicy/grassy hop over slight roasted tones. Fresh and clean. A lighter pale ale, but a tasty one.

Bottle as shown. Pours a copper golden color with a small white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is sweet hops and fruit. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a very dry hop and sweet fruit with a very dry finish. A decent pale ale from Boulevard.

Nice golden coloured body with orange tints and a somewhat frothy white head. Aroma of pale malt with a little bit of hops in the scent with some wheatie aroma too. Medium-bodied; Short hoppy taste up front with mixes of cardboard and vomit with very little else. Aftertaste shows a lingering bitterness - but not really good and not fresh in the hops either. Overall - a decent beer with not much else than that. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle pulled from an 8-pack sampler purchased at Sam’s Wine & Liquors in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on 15-December-2005.

Moderate piney hops with moderate bready malts and that typical Boulevard fruity aroma. Small, creamy off-white head with good lacing. Body is clear and vibrantly orange. Flavor is weak. No real bitterness, no real taste. Watery texture with lively carbonation.

Bottle (courtesy of jetzler). Sweet orange/pineapple hops and strong malt aroma. Cloudy orange yellow color with small head. Fairly bland flavor - watery malt and light hops. Aroma showed some promise but taste kind of let me down.
