Beer Review - Boulevard Irish Red Ale


According to the BJCP 2004 Style Guidelines, Boulevard Irish Red Ale is a commercial example of category 9D, Irish Red Ales. Her are my thoughts on this fine beverage.
  • Malty aroma. No hop or estery smells
  • Deep copper/amber color
  • Light tan head
  • Medium light body with moderate carbonation
  • Malty flavor, with a slight caramel taste.
  • No hoop flavor, but some hop bitterness
  • Slight alcohol warmth
  • Very easy drinking beer
  • Aroma 8 out of 12
  • Appearance 3 out of 3
  • Flavor 18 out of 20
  • Mouthfeel 5 out of 5
  • Overall Impression 8 out of 10
  • Total score 42 - Excellent!

I had my fourth session on the uni this evening. My wife is afraid I am planning on joining the circus. Anyway, I made it nearly from my house to the end of the street, which is about 300 feet. I am tossing around the idea of taking the uni on the Mayor's Ride later on this spring.
