Overall Impression:
Boulevard's Zon is a good example of a light Belgian style Wit. It's refreshing citrus flavors and thin texture will be welcome on a warm summer's day but ultimately this beer falls short of more traditional Wits that just have more flavor and complexity.
Boulevard's Zon delivers on the unspoken promise of its name. It's a summer seasonal beer that lives up to the light and citrusy Belgian Wit style. Boulevard's take on the Belgian original does leave a bit to be desired. It's a summer beer and it's intentionally light and refreshing, but the downside to that is this beer comes off as a bit boring. I do enjoy the flavor of the Zon and I appreciate all of it's light characteristics but it just leaves me wanting more. Not more bottles of Zon, but more flavor and more texture. The Zon does plenty of things right, it has a good fruity/citrus flavor that leaves a pleasingly sour aftertaste. My main gripe with the Zon is that it just doesn't do anything outstanding, and in a fridge full of stellar Belgian Wits it's just too easy to pass over the Zon in favor of something a bit more interesting.
