Boulevard Brewing Sample Pack

[Wings_Fan_In_KC]

Their newest offering is a 12 pack that contains 3 80 Acre Wheat, 3 Unfiltered Wheat, 3 Mid-Coast IPA and 3 West Side Rye Ale.

The Mid-Coast and West Side are what are called "Tasting Room Beers" previously unavailable to the public. They are taking surveys and comments online to decide if they are going to offer either for seasonal or full time production.

The Rye Ale is great, nice and full, crisp finish. Not much hops overtones but a great beer. Malt Bill: Pale Malt, Malted Rye, Amber Malt, Melanoidin Malt, Midnight Wheat (Rye is 30% of total grist)

The IPA is 100 IBU but it doesn't kick you in the face, it's got an awesome arome that wafts out of the bottle and makes you smile. The flavor is potent but not too bitter. Frankly I could not believe it was a 100 IBU beer. They use Mosiac in the whirlpool and dry hop with Cascade, Amarillo, Citra and Centennial.

If you have BLVD products in your neck of the woods, look for this sample pack!

What do you think of the 80 acre wheat?

[Wings_Fan_In_KC]

I've been drinking that since it came out. I like it. The Wheat was always lacking something in my opinion and adding the hops.............yeah, baby. It's not an extreme hopped brew like an ultimate hop head would want but it adds a balance to an otherwise boring beer (Blvd Wheat).

They bitter with Bravo and Zeus and then dry hop with Summit, Cascade & Nelson Sauvin. It's a very pleasant beer. Basically like they took Single Wide IPA and crossed it with the Unfiltered Wheat but without the Simcoe/Citra.
