Space Camper

Tap to rate

Tropical fruit flavors and aromas of nectar and citrus make a juicy IPA with little upfront bitterness. Brewers add hops in massive amounts at the end of the boil and during fermentation. It is the initiation into Boulevard's Space Camper IPA Saga, a Cosmic IPA at 5.9% ABV and 40 IBU. Boulevard calls the saga a mind-bending alternate universe of India Pale Ales.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
