I had the pleasure of trying one of Boulevard's newest additions to the Smokestack Series, Harvest Dance Wheat Wine. This beer was delicate, crisp, light, and citrusy. Weighing in at 9.1% on the ABV scale, by no means is this brew light in terms of alcohol percentage. The most common suggestion is to pair the Harvest Dance Wheat Wine with cheese, but I think this beer is more multi-dimensional than its given credit for. I sipped on a (tulip) glass while enjoying a nice slow roasted chicken with potatoes and vegetables. It paired excellently with the chicken and the sweetness did not override the meal at all.
If you have not begun to check out Boulevard's Smokestack Series, then you are truly missing out. This series offers a line of diverse and refined beers that add to Boulevard Brewery's portfolio. Additionally, there is a beer for any palate or occasion. Boulevard has built a strong foundation in its flagship line, but the Smokestack Series is what separates this brewery apart from most others. For those eager to have a good sample of this series, I recommend picking up the Boulevard Smokestack Series Mixed Four, which includes the four original Smokestack brews and an awesome snifter glass.
