Collaboration No. 2 from, Boulevard x Deschutes



Another great limited release Smokestack Series from Boulevard today, this time a much lighter beer in the form of a Belgium IPA, with the help of the Oregon brewery, Deschutes.
The Collab was poured into the smokestack glass, filling it with a golden yellow color with plenty of head (3 fingers) with plenty of bubbles also. 
The IPA smells of citrus, a lot of clove and hops, and a bit spicy. 
The grass and hop taste is what meets the buds (of the taste variety) first, then very citrusy  with plenty of lemon at the end. The citrus does cause for a tad of a bitter and tart taste. 


Sadly I opened this at a point where I felt I had drank to many IPAs recently (as a lover of stouts I get this way sometimes with light beers), but this beer just made me want 2 more bottles. Great beer, and can't wait for the upcoming release of Deschutes in Kansas and Missouri.
