Boulevard Brewing Unfiltered Wheat:
Evening all and welcome to another little beer day.  Today lets dip our toe into the rather large pool of Boulevard Brewing and one of their more accessible beers: Unfiltered Wheat.  I first tried this beer several years ago when I was first really discovering wheat beers and, honestly, I remember not being to impressed with it and upon revisiting it today, I’m still on the fence about it.  The beer pours well and doesn’t produce much of a head on it, mainly staying about a fingers worth in thickness and it quickly dissipates to a few tiny islands floating in an ocean of cloudy beer.  The nose is of a strong ripe banana and a touch of malts.  The front end of the beer tastes of citrus and wheat (surprise surprise) and through the mid and back-end of a sip, the taste really doesn’t change; toning down from the front end tastes thanks to an abundance of carbonation.  The fizz in the beer really reminds me of champagne but with a more…delicate fizz.  Not a bad beer but just not for me, but with this one out of the way, it allows me to move onto the greater catalog of Boulevard, especially their Smokestack brews, but first, another short beer.  Till tomorrow friends.
