Boulevard Brewing Co. Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale Saison at 8.5% ABV (C$3.87 at Quarry Park Co-Op, 355 ml, best before 10-Nov-2015)
Pours hazy straw with three fat and growing fingers of rocky white head, excellent retention and lacing. (4/5) Nose is lemon zest, light stone fruit, light wheat, bready yeast, coriander, clove, mild funk. (8/10) Taste is mild sweet, moderate bitter, mild tart, light pepper spice. (8/10) Medium to light body, lively carbonation, dry peppery and mildly tart finish. (4/5)
Quite a nice saison – a decent balance of citrus, Belgian yeast, and dry funk. Fairly complex, without being the kitchen sink it might sound like. (16/20)
