Boulevard Tank 7 and wheat wine: first impressions

Earlier today, I wrote that Boulevard brewmaster Steven Pauwels introduced two soon-to-be Boulevard offerings at Flying Saucer last night. Here’s what some of us thought of the offerings.

The second beer we tasted is currently nicknamed Tank 7. When it’s released it will have a different name (“It takes much longer to think of the name than to think of the beer,” Pauwels said only half-jokingly), but the recipe should be the same. It’s based on the Saison-Brett with some notable differences.

When I originally wrote about Saison-Brett, I said it’s very cloudy like a Boulevard Wheat and I could smell the strong yeast aroma from far away.
