Most breweries have at least one piece of equipment that’s just a bit persnickity. Here at Boulevard we have fermenter number seven, the black sheep of our cellar family. Ironically, when our brewers were experimenting with variations on a traditional Belgian-style farmhouse ale, the perfect combination of elements came together in that very vessel. You could call it fate, but they called it Tank 7, and so it is. Beginning with a big surge of fruity aromatics and grapefruit-hoppy notes, the flavor of this complex, straw-colored ale tapers off to a peppery, dry finish.

Poured from 750mL bottle into a stemmed goblet. Served with spicy Thai curry.
Pour was hazy light orange with frothy white head that lasted and laced well.
Not much aroma, pepper and yeast predominate but very little of either.
Despite that, taste was very pleasing, mostly pepper, clove, lemon, yeast, tangy funk was pleasant and not overwhelming.
Light body, pleasant amount of carbonation that added to the crisp spicy taste.
Overall, tasty and pleasant. Nothing incredibly special about the beer, but everything about it was good nonetheless. The third I've tried of the Smokestack series and I've liked every one a lot.

L= Beautiful golden haze. A white head formed 3 inches thick, quite sudsy, large bubbles, merengue-like. scant lacing.
S= Tree fruit... apricot, apple, plum notes, hops and sweetness underneath.
T= A bit reserved, I don't get the sticky in your face fruit basket of some saisons. I do get an apricot-forwardblend of fruit with noticeable but not overbearing hops. I like the subdued taste.
F= Slightly on the watery side, but refreshing.
O= My first taste of Boulevard Tank 7 Saison. I called it a 4 overall, but I might change to 4.25 by the end of the glass. I am satisfied and will undoubtedly purchase again.

Solid, bright and lively. Slightly cloudy, golden in the glass. Bright on top- just a bit of citrus but smooth and crisp. Love it... the seasonal Cranberry is even better.

Dope. I’m surprised, cause I don’t usually enjoy saisons. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed any saison I’ve had. But this is very different than the bright, effervescent, hay scented saisons I’ve had. This tastes the way I want a Belgian triple to taste. It’s viscous, faintly sweet, still well carbonated to have great body; notes of banana and clove, plus some interesting additional notes like mint and by bubblegum.

Slightly tart, slightly bitter but light tasting despite the ABV. Excellent mouth feel but perhaps too carbonated as it has a tendency to erupt out of the bottle after opening regardless of how gently you've been treating it as well foaming too much regardless of how gently you pour it.

November 2023. Hartwell. I’ve had multiple times before first time I had it was in Denver with a duck poutine so it has sentimental value to me excellent beer it has been a while since I’ve had it need to buy it more often. It is very good highly recommend.

8/20/23. Best by 8/19/23...oops, a day too late. But, actually, probably much more. Should try to find another fresher bottle.
Pour is a beautiful straw yellow with a huge, pillowy, chalk white head. Dense, creamy, and long lasting. Good lacing.
Nose is lightly lemon, straw, citrus rind,
Taste follows. straw, subtle lemon, citrus rind, ester, clove,

Tank 7 has a thick, stark-white head and a translucent, bubbly, gold, with heavy lacing. The aroma is of horse blanket and spiced, white bread. The flavor is similar, with relatively-strong bitterness. Tank 7 has a medium body and a dry finish.

This is one of the few American saisons that can easily hold its own with the true Belgians. Just wonderful.

Tank-7 is one of my favorites whether in a bottle or draft. Can drink this all year round.
