Boulevard Belgian-Style IPA

The 12 pack samplers from Boulevard Brewing Company of Kansas City, Missouri now routinely includes two varieties of their "Tasting Room" beers; beers that have been available in their tasting room in the past, but not bottled. This is a 5.7% ABV Belgian-Style India Pale Ale.

The beer pours an orange-tinted honey golden. There is over an inch of thick, foamy, white head. The aroma is floral, gardens and fields of wildflowers, honey, and ripe fruit. The taste follows the aromas, lots of flowers, a bit of honey-like sweetness, round and ripe fruits, and then a blast of floral, grassy bitterness that brings it to a dry finish. The beer drinks easy, smooth, refreshing. This is a really great-tasting take on the Belgian IPA.
