We brought you a peek back in Dec, and now this from Boulevard:
Following over a year of development, testing and tasting, we’re excited to introduce Easy Sport Recreation Ale, a beer brewed for runners, cyclists, hikers, pickleball players, karate masters, yogis, disc golfers, ball golfers, yard mowers, jazzercisers and people who are just plain thirsty.
Easy Sport is a refreshing, super drinkable, bright ale with a hint of tangerine. Beginning with a simple, easy-drinking blonde ale recipe, we add electrolytes to an extended mash and again during the boil to create a super dry, perfectly balanced beer. At the end of fermentation, we add more electrolytes and a touch of tangerine peel resulting in a slightly tart, subtly salty, all-natural, low calorie, carb-conscious beer.
