What's on the Can: "Feel like a boss? You will when you crack open our flagship West Coast Style IPA, Boss Pour. Waves of Pacific Northwest hops are supported by American 2-Row and copious amounts of English specialty base malts. Bright citrus and a touch of dank hop character are the ones in charge here, and will surely be good for the end of your daily grind. So step on up, be a Boss."

REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured clear golden into a pint glass. White head. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Sweet malt-forward with tropical citrus. 4/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose, good sweet tropical citrus from start to finish. 4/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, good to significant carbonation. Slightly sticky, some dry tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An awesome IPA. Boss Pour for me was about the same rating as New Money and slightly below the Nelson Double Double. The English malt was clearly present here. I liked the sweet tropical citrus that went with this. A delicious beer with spicy food, too. 4/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.038/5
