Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale

Brewer: Boulevard Brewing Co.
Style: Saison
ABV: 8%
IBU: 38
Serving Type: 12 oz. bottle poured into Czech pils glass

Deep yellow, slightly coppery. Fairly hazy. Two fingers of dense, ivory head. Actually took a while to pour, as the head just kept building up. Eventually settles to still dense quarter inch, and laces the glass well. Nice bouquet of earthy hops, citrus, fresh-cut grass, and... coriander?

Has a good flavor, a little more hops than I was expecting from a farmhouse ale/saison, though not overly bitter. Just a hint of sour tartness, welcome in the style. Keeps an appropriate medium body and super dry finish. Tickles the toungue with a high carbonation and a slight acidity. Very thirst quenching.

My score: 4/5
Beer Advocate: A-
Rate Beer: 98/100
Pintley: 4.2/5
