My mother picked this up for my cookout. 5-12 bottle date poured into alchemist glass.

A Gigantic slight slight red head goes gushing to the top of the glass, easily 4 fingers. Head has very nice retention and eventually leaves great lacing. Body is a hazy deep orange almost amber in color. 4/4.5

S Good amount of malt in the nose. Sweet citrus and some earthy hops as well

T Really nice balance. A wave of biscuity malt comes forward along with some sweet citrus and almost candied sugar. pretty sweet. Sweet turns bitter toward the middle with citrus and even some tropical fruits. Finish is sticky and has a bitterness that lingers. If your looking for a tasty balance this is it. 3.5/4

M Bigger side of medium with smaller carbonation. Somewhat sticky on the finish.

O Pretty tasty DIPA that's well balanced and looks fantastic. I always like my DIPA much hoppier but this was still very tasty.

I really love Boulevard Brewing Co. but this one I just don't get. I thought I may have had a bad batch but from reading other reviews I reaffirmed what I was tasting.

From the outside looking in it shines the way a DIPA should - dark creamy orange with a nice head. Smell of sweet hickory BBQ along with pines and spices.

However this brew is just bitter. Not a lot of depth here. Straight alcohol and a slow sipper for sure.

I'm going to stick with the Sixth Glass, Tank 7 Farmhouse and Long Strange Tripel
