A shiny beacon in a beer wasteland

So my past month has been spent in Laredo, TX.  An empty void of good beer if I have ever seen one.  Thank you Sierra Nevada for a keeping me going.  But last weekend I made the three and a half hour drive to Austin.  They have beer in that town. We went to The Draught House in the north part of town.  Great bar. You can drink and play darts in the parking lot!  People also brought their dogs and had pizza delivered.  Like I said, "Great Bar."  So on the way out of town I stopped at Whole Foods.  There I piked up some Brooklyn Brewing beers, a 6-pack of Racer 5, an Ommagang Belgian Pale Ale, and a bottle of Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale from Boulevard Brewing Co. out of Kansas City, Missouri.  (which is what I am drinking tonight)  The Tank 7 is a fantastic saison.  I wish I had bought more of this stuff.  It has a really mellow nose of pale malts and yeast with earthy hop aromas.  The beer starts out with a sweet taste then it becomes peppery and spicy; finely finishing very dry with a green apple after taste.  That is a simplistic description of the beer because it is very complex and satisfying.  I also taste hops, mushrooms, pears, wheat, sourdough... This is what I look for in a sasion.  Complex, dry, and leaves you wanting more.  Unfortunatly this is the only bottle I have and it does not reach Southern California.  If you every come across this beer I say try it.  Tank 7 is an excellent example of a world class sasion.
