look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

12oz bottle, best by March 20, 2013. Served at around 40F.

Pours semi hazy orange/amber/copper with a large three finger light beige head that leaves rings of lacing and holds a persistent cap. Tons of very active carbonation bubbles flying all around inside the glass.

Aroma features citrus, apricot, a bit of pine, bread and caramel malt. Moderate to good strength.

Flavor is nice grapefruit citrus, orange, fruity hops, some apricot, pine, caramel malt in the middle offering some sweetness, good bitterness on the finish but not an enamel-scraper. Mild alcohol.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied, creamy, with high carbonation.

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
