Boulevard Smokestack Series–Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale

Boulevard Brewing Company

Kansas City, Missouri

APPEARANCE: 3/3
Deep gold. Creamy, foamy head. Pretty–hazy, unfiltered.

AROMA: 3.5/4
Spicy, fruity. Citrus nose–grapefruit–plus pepper, bubblegum, a little hop.

TASTE: 8.75/10

• Hop/Malt Balance: 3/4: Noticeable citrus hop. Grassy, malty.
  
• Aftertaste: 3/3: Big grapefruit finish. Subtle, lingering bitterness. Grassy, meadowy.
  
• Mouth-Feel: 2.75/3: Dry finish, subtle alcohol. Big and bouncy.
  

OVERALL: 2.75/3: A little lingering bitterness, but the citrus makes it work.

TOTAL: 18/20–Keep 'Em Comin'

NOTES:
Matt: Very rich, but very drinkable. Deceptive in terms of ABV–no heavy alcohol. Very bright and citrusy. True to style–classic and definitely worth a try (or two). Another nice aperatif.
