The Calling is Boulevard Brewing's ambitious Imperial IPA, brewed by Missouri's largest craft brewery. At 8.5% ABV, it builds on a simple two-row malt foundation topped with a substantial hop bill. The result is a beer with a juicy, tropical fruit aroma that leaps from the glass, displaying citrus and floral notes throughout.

The flavour strikes a careful balance despite its generous hopping—it delivers substantial character without overwhelming the palate or leaving a heavy residual flavour. The malt base provides a clean platform that lets the hops shine. Boulevard positions this as a tribute to like-minded dreamers and adventurous spirits, reflecting the brewery's own ambition since its 1989 founding in Kansas City.
