Boulevard Brewery Irish Ale:
Evening all and welcome to another day of dwarf beers (we’ll do a week of Elf beers sometime this summer for all you Middle Earth equality people).  Today we venture back to Boulevard Brewery and try what is considered by some to be one of their best beers: Irish Ale.  This beauty is a new beer for me and really didn’t know it existed till I pulled it from the beer cooler (I just stock them, not read’em) and I was a impressed from the initial pour.  About half way through the pour the beer’s nose came out strongly, smelling of malts and strong tea.  The head on the beer foamed up more than I expected, most likely due to the frozen glass but it dissipated into a ring around the edges quickly and allowed the nose of the beer to fully bloom.  Revisiting the nose properly I found the tea and malts still there with undertone of flowers and a bit of citrus thanks to the hops.  The front end of the beer’s taste is sweet with a bit of malt and breads.  The back end of the beer is dry and hoppy but very clean and doesn’t offend.  A great beer if I must say so,  I will have to remember this one when I’m looking to have something with my shot of Irish whiskey.  Now if you excuse me, I’m going to go congratulate myself for stock, pulling this and drinking it.  Oh and Jace for providing it.
