12 ounce bottle into tulip glass; bottled on 4/22/2019, best before 8/10/2019. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly foamy and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, watermelon, red apple, lychee, guava, raspberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, clove, pine, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, watermelon, red apple, lychee, guava, raspberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, clove, pine, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, watermelon, red apple, lychee, guava, raspberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, clove, pine, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hp astringency after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. High carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.3%. Overall this is an excellent Brut IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and pretty refreshing to drink with the moderately bitter/resin/drying finish; not overly aggressive. Great Ekuanot, Topaz, Citra, Galaxy, El Dorado, Amarillo profile. Very vibrant, dank, earthy, and fairly juicy hop complexity; with a great balanced clean pils malt backbone. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp drying. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive spot on style example. No complaints.

12oz bottle. Large, foamy, white head on top of a filtered yellow-tan body. At 7.3%, on the heavier side for the style. Pleasant effervescence, good mouthfeel. Dry, soapy, lemony tones. Has some Belgian sensibilities in the overall feel. Pretty solid.

Pour is a hazy golden with a large white head. Aroma is a green herbal hop and not much else. Flavor is more herbal hop with some lemon-lime citrus. Finish is dry and super carbonated. I would not call this overly hopped just kind of there and there is no bitterness felt. O.K. I guess but I was expecting more.

Bottle - pours a lightly hazy pale gold, with a soapy lace - aroma of citrus and white grape, grass and dankness, white pepper - soft carbonation, prickly dryness on the tongue - mild mineral bite - just a slight sweetness left behind that runs through the middle - the hop flavors of pepper, citrus, combined with the dryness give this an almost Belgian ale quality which I quite enjoy - so far the best Brut IPA I've had.

12 oz bottle that was part of a Boulevard mixed IPA 6 pack purchased at Ranchmart Wine and Spirits in Leawood, Kansas. Bottle date smeared, release 001 year 2018 on label. The pour is a mostly clear pale golden yellow with a fizzy one inch foamy white head that falls slow. The aroma is clean fruit, tropical mango, orange citrus and cracker malt. The taste is thinner orange fruit and citrus, with some of the mango, malt is more cereal in flavor. A bit of dry apple almost tart as the beer warms. The palate is light bodied, fine active carbonation, very effervescent and absolutely bone dry.
