Bravo and Cascade for citrus flavor and aroma. After fermentation with our house Belgian yeast strain, Belgian-style IPA is dry hopped with a blend of Calypso, Cascade and Chinook hops. Pouring copper in color, the beer bursts with spicy phenolics and fruity esters that mingle with bright hop notes of apple, pear and pine. Situated at the intersection of our expertise with Belgian yeast and our love for American hops, Belgian-style IPA.

Bottle pour into pint glass from Whole Foods. Aroma is Belgian yeast with fruit--kind of Kolsch style. Appearance is clear golden yellow with 1-2 finger width foamy head and nice sparkle and sticky lacing. Taste is first half slight fruit and tart yeast with second half bitter. Palate is medium bodied with moderate texture, average carbonation and long mix sweet fruity ester/tart yeast and bitter. They got what they were looking to achieve with the mix of Belgian yeast and hops but the tart/bitter combo is less desirable to me than a fruity ester/nice aroma would have been.

12oz bottle, best before 01/08/16. Blvd tulip. Color is clear golden, long lasting head retention, low level of lacing. Aroma is muted tropical fruit hops and a thick Belgian biscuit maltiness. Flavor is even more Belgian biscuit and sort of dull hoppinees. Light-moderate hop bitterness. A faint pear crust but general missing any strong esters. A relatively dull beer that isn’t Belgian-y enough or isn’t hop-centric enought. .

12 oz bottle purchased at the Boulevard gift shop / tasting room in Kansas City, Missouri. L070115 stamped on bottle. The pour is a clear golden with a smallish foamy white head. The aroma is full clean Belgian yeast along with a bit of clove and fresh floral hop. Engaging nose. The taste is the Belgian flavor from the yeast, hay, grass and bright floral hop and malt in the back. The palate is medium bodied with soft carbonation and a mineral yeast grass finish. Tasty beer.
