Tropical Pale Ale brewed with Cigar City Brewing
Combining Cigar City's expertise with tropical fruit flavors and Boulevard's love of pale ales, Collaboration No. 5 - Tropical Pale Ale begins with a base of pilsner malt layered with Marris Otter, Munich, and caramel malts. Huge late hopping with a blend of Mosaic, Citra, Lemondrop, and Azacca lends bright citrus flavors. Freshly sliced grapefruit and passionfruit added at the end of the boil add a refreshing acidity and tropical fruit flavor and aroma.

From my ratings backlogs - Hazy pour, fruity aroma with grainy, bready malt. Flavor is of biscuity malt, moderately bitter, tropical and citrus fruit. Light to medium body. Pretty good.

Volatile metal nose. Cloudy, amber. Deep thick resinous hoppy mouth coating happy bullshit. Quite heavy. Slick thick feel, one of the rudest IPA I’ve had fer a while. HAHAH, I just saw what style this is above and it says APA, fricken funny. This really bold imperial ass kicken strong ale, double IPA strong ale, YEAH.
