Ok, so the first beer I’m going to review is the beer that got me into trying craft beers. I can’t remember the first time I had this beer but I do remember thinking, “wow, this is the best tasting beer I’ve ever had”. So today’s beer is Boulevard Wheat, brewed by Boulevard brewing company in Kansas City, MO.  If you want to know more about this brewery or beer check out this website: www.blvdbeer.com
On with the tasting:
Pour: Beer has a hazy yellow color with a nice white foamy head.  Lacing sticks to the glass. What is lacing?  Lacing is the white, foamy residue that sticks to the side of your glass. A good thing!
Aroma: You can smell the wheat very clearly and some citrus notes also.
Taste: Very refreshing and easily drinkable. The wheat is unfiltered so it sticks out more and has hit of citrus, mostly lemon with it.
Overall: B-
Recommendation: I know so many people who drink nothing but Bud, Miller, and Coors. If you are one of those people, and you might have a slight interest in expanding your beer tasting palatte, I highly recommend starting here with Boulevard Wheat. Tasty, refreshing, easy to drink, and more importantly for Iowans, easy to come by.
Eastern Iowa residents: this beer is widely available in our area. Check your supermarket, Hy-Vee for sure will have it, or my favorite places to buy, Benz in CR or John’s Grocery in Iowa City.

Check back in a couple of days for another review.
