Boulevard Harvest Dance Wheat Wine Review

Boulevard Harvest Dance Wheat Wine is one of the most complex and satisfying beers I've had in a while. For those of you who don't know, Wheat Wine style beers contain a large portion of wheat malt, which will give the beer soft mouthfeel. Balanced that with a generous portion of hops provides this beer a very complex sensation for the drinker.

Harvest Dance pours a beautiful deep amber that gleams in the light and provides a head that looks like it could hold up a bottle cap. Once the head is there however, it isn't going away anytime soon so if you don't want to drink though two inches of foam before you get to your beer, pour slowly.

Taste and aroma wise there is a lot going on. The hops in the beer gives a nice tingly sensation in the mouth that isn't overpowering because of the malt. The beer has strong citrus and fruity flavors, which is well needed to balance the high percentage of alcohol in the beer. At 9.1% ABV, it may not be the beer for everyone. But where others taste a beer so potent it stands the hair on the back of their neck, I taste a beer with such complex flavors, I get chills thinking about it. In fact, there is so much going on with this beer that I probably won't do it justice in this review. It's just something you have to experience for yourself and while this may not be the beer for everyone, its uniqueness makes it a must for any beer geek out there to try at least once.

Boulevard Brewing Company had become a powerhouse in the Midwest craft beer industry because they flat out know how to brew beer. From the classic Boulevard Wheat to the alcoholic powerhouse known as The Sixth Glass (10.5% ABV), they have been able to make beers that attract all echelons of beer drinkers. From your ordinary Homer Simpsons to the ritzy Monty Burns of the world, all of them can enjoy something Boulevard has to offer.
