Dank 7

Tap to rate

Resinous, piney hop character comes from loading the recipe with seven different hops. Boulevard calls it the first playful seasonal variant of Tank 7, a Belgian-style IPA with an approachable ABV of 7%. 55 IBU, Smokestack Series. It takes the Belgian saison that set the brewing world ablaze and sparks up creativity once more with a massive dose of hops.

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, translucent presentation. A dense, creamy head forms readily and maintains firm Schaumhaftung throughout the glass. Vigorous carbonation is visible in steady streams rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

Assertive resinous and piney hop character dominates the nose, driven by the blend of seven Edelhopfen varieties. Below the sharp pine sit delicate fruity notes and subtle spice, with a clean fermentation profile and minimal malt influence. The aromatic profile is bracing and herbaceous without turning harsh.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and immediately hoppy, with pronounced resinous and piney bitterness that carries through the mid-palate. A light fruity sweetness from the Malz base provides just enough balance to prevent the beer from becoming one-dimensional. The 55 IBU lands with measured authority—firm and present but not aggressive, allowing the full hop complexity to develop across the palate.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with the resinous, piney hop character persisting well into the aftertaste. A subtle spiced bitterness fades gradually, leaving the palate clean and inviting another sip.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
