Boulevard Brewing Mid Coast IPA is a 100 IBU beer but only clocks in at somewhere around 5.5%. The smell was immediately grapefruit and piney hops. It gave off a very nice head that lifted up in my mug and was a beautiful clear straw color. Once it hits my lips though, it's a beautifully balanced beer that carries a nice touch of sweet malts with a blast of amazing pine and grapefruit and some tropical fruit and finishes with a lovely bitter coating on my tongue to finish. This is how you balance an IPA, without too much sweetness, just enough malt to carry the hops. If this was a 6 pack I'd buy it but I guess I'll have to settle for the 3 I get in the sampler 12 pack.
