Boulevard Mid-Coast IPA

The latest 12 pack sampler from Boulevard Brewing Company of Kansas City, Missouri includes two "Tasting Room" beers, beers that have been available in their tasting room, but never before bottled. This one is a India Pale Ale with over 100 IBU's and 5.6% ABV. The other is their Westside Rye.

The beer pours a honey, orange, golden in color. There is a tall half-inch of thick and foamy white head. The aroma is hop forward, lots of citrus (grapefruit, lime and orange), passion fruit, and some pine. The taste melds all the hop aromas into one unified taste that sits atop a solid crackery malt base. The finish is dry and quite bitter, like biting grapefruit skin. A refreshing trip to the Mid-Coast!
