Boulevard Brewing Co.
Grade: 84 B
This show-me-state cider is a golden dark straw color with a slightly yeasty nose with a bit of sweetness. This has a nice satiating mouthfeel but there is definitely a pretty strong yeasty taste. It seems this brewery is using a strong yeast, maybe some kind of potent Belgian ale yeast, as it has a distinct beer taste. It is also a bit sour with some bitter undertones. It does not have a strong apple flavor, but it is a nicely nuanced taste.
The City Market represents a place where chefs and home cooks come together to show and taste the best flavors in the region. Our brewing team captured this spirit in Boulevard’s City Market Cider. This local blend features juice from Jonathan apples, sourced directly from Sibley Orchard & Cider Mill in Sibley, Missouri. City Market Cider is fermented with our house English ale strain, resulting in a crisp, dry cider with just a touch of sweetness from juice held back for blending. Per independent, third-party lab analysis, City Market Cider meets the requirements (below 20 parts per million) to be considered a gluten-free cider.
