Single Wide IPA

Hailing from Boulevard Brewing Co. in Kansas City, Missouri, the Single Wide IPA is a fairly traditional take on the India Pale Ale that originated in Great Britain in the 18th century.  It's a pretty smooth beer (for an IPA) and has all the aromas and flavors you would come to expect from a beer of its ilk.  Hints of citrus and caramel and bitter hops swirl together to make a great companion for a spicy meal.  Like any good IPA, the first sip is usually super bitter, but each progressive gulp goes down better and better until you've suddenly had two or three beers.  So, if you don't think you're a fan of India Pale Ale, or you don't know if you are (sometimes the hops can be too much for some palettes), the Single Wide is a pretty good jumping on point to test the waters as it were.
