Boulevard Double Wide

The Boulevard Brewing Company is in Kansas City, Missouri. They have a solid and tasty line of beers. This is part of their Smokestack Series of beers, some of which are regular releases and some of which are seasonal or special. The name, of course, is a play on a double IPA and a double-wide trailer.  Boulevard's regular IPA is Single-Wide (trailer) and their double IPA is a double-wide trailer. 

This beer is 8.5% ABV and pours a deep orange-brown-ruby in color.  There is a tall half-inch of thick and foamy head that is off-white to light brown in color.  The aroma is hoppy, tropical fruit, stone fruits, grapefruit, slightly spicy and a bit of yeast.  The taste is fruity, spicy, full, deep, rich, caramel, with a very bitter and dry finish.  There are a lot of DIPA's that attempt to be this beer and fail.  A very good beer.
