Boulevard’s Amber Ale. Seems as if most larger microbreweries around the country have an amber of some sort – it’s a bit of a requisite style. Every bit as much as a Pale Ale or some sort of American Wheat. So Boulevard Brewery in my hometown of Kansas City decided to produce one. We’ve reviewed it below:
Alright, not a bad beer, and as we said in the video, ‘Highly Quaffable.’
So here’s the breakdown:
- Originality within style (15): A classic amber, albeit on the dry side. Nothing particularly standout, and that’s not bad.
- Nose (16): Notes of toasted malt, vanilla, caramel, all very subtle.
- Mouthfeel (17): Perfect spring or fall session beer, with just enough character to not be boring.
- Character (13): Just enough character to not be boring. The dryness at the finish is different.
- Overall Quality (16): Boulevard does a quality job of packaging great ingredients into a beer people will drink.
- Total (77): Can’t complain. Very decent. I wouldn’t specifically seek this one out, but most certainly wouldn’t refuse.
