I calculate the hydrodynamic limit of the BGK approximation of the Boltzmann equation for the case of a long stress relaxation time and find that the stress obeys a viscoelastic constitutive equation. The constitutive equation is different from standard constitutive equations used for polymeric liquids in that it is not ``objective'' because inertial effects are important. I calculate the exact solution for the stresses for simple shear flow and elongational flow.
