Smells of grapefruit and hops. Orange and grapefruit come through in the taste, which gradually fades to a hop bitterness with hints of bread. Bitterness is not as pronounced as in some APAs, but balances well. Perhaps lacking a bit of complexity, but very well balanced and drinkable. I've yet to try anything bad from Boulevard.

12 oz. bottle, with best by date of 06/21/2013. Acquired as part of the Boulevard twelve pack sampler. Poured into a Firestone Walker pint glass.

A - Pours one finger of fluffy white froth for a head on top of a nice bright beautiful orange colored body with lots of sediment twirling around the glass, not unlike the Boulevard Single-Wide I.P.A. Head dies out quickly.

S - Earthy, pine resin hops, lemongrass, wheat and caramelized malts.

T - Taste is crisp, medium bodied, with tart citric lemon qualities. Decently hopped up for a being a pale ale. Sweet tangy hops are complemented well with the malts.

M - Crisp, refreshing, light to medium body, with a nice tart lemon hop bite. Slight bitterness in the aftertaste with some dryness.

Overall, another decent year-round beer from Boulevard. Simple, fairly average, and doesn't stray too far from the rest of the pack, but this is a pale ale that definitely achieves what it sets out to do, and there is definitely something charismatic about these beers.. A highly enjoyable and drinkable pale ale, one I'd be happy to revisit.

Boulevard Pale Ale ---4/5.
