Boulevard Brewing Company Single-Wide IPA

Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.

Tonight’s featured beer is Boulevard Brewing Company Single-Wide IPA. I had the opportunity to drink this at the brewery recently and brought this bottle back with me for review.

From the Boulevard Brewing Company website: “Boulevard Single-Wide I.P.A. is our take on a style that originated in 18th century Great Britain. This American version—inspired by our Smokestack Series Double-Wide I.P.A.—boasts a heady combination of six varieties of hops, some of which were employed for dry-hopping.”

Let’s get started!

Appearance: Pours a dark copper color with a large white head and excellent lacing.

Aroma: Pine, citrus and floral hop aromas blended well with caramel malts.

Taste: Citrus and pine hop bitterness upfront balanced with caramel malt flavor.

Overall: A very drinkable and approachable IPA, Boulevard Brewing Company Single-Wide IPA is easy drinkin’. At 5.7% ABV this beer is solid and worth a try for fans of the style.  Not over-the-top hoppy this may be a good beginner IPA for hop shy drinkers.  I enjoyed it as it presents a nice alternative to the hop bombs I’m accustomed to.

Cheers!
