Boulevard The Calling Double IPA

Boulevard The Calling Double IPA.


8.5 % ABV, 75 IBU. Boulevard Brewing, Kansas City, O.

Lightly hazed, bright golden hue, slim white head. 

In the nose: Citrus, tropical, stone, and candied fruit ride just above an oncoming wave of alcohol. Brandy and whisky notes riding over hops, barley malt, yeast and water.

In the mouth: Boom! Bitterness strikes the palate hard, mouthfeel is forceful, body is full, this one's no weakling. Pow, pow, powerful. Juicy, tangy, intense. Grapefruit is supreme, with supporting cast of tangerine, lemon, and a kiss of mango and pineapple. Flavors grow wider and wider as we go. No shrinking violet or weeping willow, this. Vastly expressive, relentlessly bitter, and just about yum a dum dum. 

The Calling is an undeniable IPA we were driven to make. It's our tribute to like-minded dreamers, adventurous spirits, and glass half-full optimists. Bursting forth with unmistakable tropical fruit and pine hop aromas and flavor, it's supported with a slightly sweet malt character and tapers to a crisp, dry finish. Heed your call and enjoy.
