Boulevard Brewing Co. Tropical Pale Ale American Pale Ale at 5.9% ABV | 45 IBU (US$2.49 at Knightly Spirits Orange Blossom Trail, 355 ml, bottle date 16-Sep-2016, best before 14-Jan-2017, acquired 15-May-2017, reviewed 25-May-2017)
Appearance: clear pale amber with one fat finger of rocky ivory head diminishing gradually to a loose cap, patchy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: mild, citrus, caramel, tropical fruit. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, off-dry short finish. (4/5)
Definitely past its BB, but instead of going off or becoming caramelly (is that a word?), this appears to have simply faded. Not quite bland, but not far off. (13/20)
6.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
