Tonight was a chance to try a nice double wit from fine folks of Boulevard Brewing in Kansas City. Middle America representing with a Belgian style beer. Nice chance to enjoy a strong brew in a large format (love the large bottles, feels like you are opening some champagne or something; I guess that's why Miller High Life went with the Champagne of Beers motto). Anytime you can get two solid pints from a single bottle, I'm usually down.
Two Jokers Double Wit (Rating = 2.5)
I had high expectations for this one after reading the description in the book. Hazy orange look with off-white head (yes, I said head...insert Beavis laugh here). Tastes of citrus and cotton candy. Then, add the description on the bottle including notes of coriander, grains of paradise and lavender. Sounds like a nice beer or at least a lovely scented soap. It is a weird mix of wheat beer, lambic fruit beer and other stuff. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Too fruity for me. And, yes, that isn't said very often - I enjoy a nice fruity drink with regularity. Sorry Boulevard - not a good selection. What else you got?
Beers down: 31
Beers to go: 970
Here is the updated spreadsheet.
