Boulevard Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale

Tank 7 hits you with crisp white pepper and dried hay on the nose—not floral, more architectural. The body has real structure; there's a subtle wheat tartness that catches you mid-sip, then it dries out hard. The alcohol warmth is noticeable but controlled, and you get this mineral, almost lime-zest finish that makes you want another sip immediately. It's a thinking person's saison.

Ommegang Hennepin

Hennepin opens softer—more peachy, bread-yeast aromatics right away. There's a cloudiness to the flavor (literally, it's unfiltered) that feels almost creamy compared to Tank 7. The funkiness is restrained, almost subtle; you get a slight barnyard whisper rather than a shout. It finishes slightly sweet and round, less dry than Tank 7, which makes it sit easier on the palate if you're drinking casually.
