Boulevard Last Splash Wet-hopped Ale
Boulevard Last Splash Wet-hopped Ale. Boulevard Brewing Company, Kansas City, Missouri.
Appearance: dark amber color, clouded, slim but sure white head.
Aroma: Fresh hops ahoy! Plenty of citrus and a side order of pine. Grapefruit and melon. Pleasingly bold bitterness. Love it.
Taste: ah, there it is. All that goodness hinted at from the nose is here on the palate. Pithy, piquant, and something else that starts with P. Mmm, hops like we like them. It's medium/light bodied, with a long, hoppy finish. Splashes of sweetness here and there. Caramel malt lurks below the hops. Nice balance in this one. Tasty, tasty stuff.
Couldn't find the ABV on the label. If I had to guess, I'd say between 5.5% and 6%?
The label is also free and clear of any and all gobbledygook. Fine by me.

The ABV is reportedly 7.0%! I think it's really well hidden amongst the well balanced hop and malt profile. This stuff is GOOOOOOOOD!
