Boulevard Brewing Company - Saison

Pours a bright golden yellow with a white head of 3 finger that dissipates slowly and laces nicely. Smell has a great yeasty cakey entrance some spiciness in the aroma along with light fruityness of banana. Taste is gentle spiciness with the fruitiness. Great feel with a light soft carbonation and a clean finish. Very drinkable, love the light feel and the gentle spicy flavors.

O'Fallon Brewery - Smoke

Poured from the bottle into a snifter a dark opaque brown with an offwhite head that left a minor crown after dissipating quickly. Smell was smokey with a roasty smell behind. Taste was much the same. Feel was smooth and lighter bodied than expected, some oilyness was noticed. Overall a pretty decent "Smoked Porter" but not the best "Porter". A good beer and I will not turn it down.

Boulevard Brewing Co. - The Sixth Glass

Pours a deep ruby with ample off white head into my snifter. Nice smell of spice, bananas, and alcohol, some maltiness. Taste has a very nice balance with malts up front and finishes with spicy aftertaste and alcohol. Feel has a very tight carbonation that tickles, and some alcohol warming. Overall a good, enjoyable beer. The alcohol hinders drinkability some but not because of taste.

Boulevard Brewing Company - Double Wide I.P.A.

Found this beer to be extremely enjoyable, I was trying several different IPA this night and it fit right in with some of my favorites

Poured from the bottle with lots of head, three to four fingers, settled quickly to a 1/8" cap on an amber hazy color. Good hoppy citrusy aroma, thought I noticed some smokiness but very faint. Taste had nice citrusy flavors, some dryness. Good feel and carbonation in line with the style. Overall very drinkable, alcohol not extremely noticable.

Boulevard Brewing - Lunar Ale

Poured a deep dark cloudy amber, head off white about one finger high. Smell is malty, creamy some fruity hints. Taste similar, malty, creamy, some fruity hints, rather enjoyable in general, though a little sweet for my taste. Light feel, fluffy thick carbonation. Definitely drinkable and very enjoyable.

Saint Louis Brewery/Schlafly Tap Room - Biere De Garde

Poured a gentle amber color with some light cloudiness, great head with differing size bubbles and good lacing. Aroma is light with some Belgian hints but primarily of apples. Tastes good very tart and slightly sour with apples being the primary flavor. Mouthfeel is a crisp medium body very slightly oily. Drinkability is good for the style though a little tart for my tastes.
