Boulevard Smokestack Tank 7...$8.49 / 750ml
Here is the first look at the new Tank 7 label....
Tank 7 will be a new year round member of the Smokestack Series on the shelves of The Wine and Cheese Place (It will replace the Smokestack Saison which is leaving the lineup). Tank 7 has been around in draft for few months and is basically their Saison Brett with out the Brett. I got a chance to try it while visiting the brewery in KC back in July.
"Most breweries have at least one piece of equipment that's just a bit persnickity. Here at Boulevard we have fermenter number seven, the black sheep of our cellar family. Ironically, when our brewers were experimenting with variations on a traditional Belgian-style farmhouse ale, the perfect combination of elements came together in that very vessel. You could call it fate, but they called it Tank 7, and so it is. Beginning with a big surge of fruity aromatics and grapefruit-hoppy notes, the flavor of this complex, straw-colored ale tapes fof to a peppery, dry finish." -- back label
CITRA HOP
Also, did you notice in the description of the upcoming Harvest Dance Wheat Wine from Boulevard that it includes the rare CITRA hop? The Citra is the hop used in the Sierra Nevada Torpedo. Boulevard's brewmaster had told that they were able to purchase some of the citra hop but would not say what they were using it in --- now we now.
Sierra Nevada Torpedo Press release.....
"We are using a new varietal called the Citra hop. Sierra Nevada ( and two other breweries) funded the research and development of this variety and we own most of the acreage available in the world, (which is something like 3 acres)."
