tfontana Profile

Can from Total Wine & More, W. Hollywood. Cloudy, light brown-dark yellow, nice sparkle, ephemeral head, no lacing. Aroma is strong tart fruit, pilsner malt, dust. Taste is strong tart lemon, pale malt. Frothy texture, lively carbonation, crisp finish as taste with mild bitterness. The "Strasbourg sensibility" certainly changes the garden-variety Pilsner. And, is remiiscent of lemonade. So, mission accomplished. Just don't love it.

Argus from Black Project Spontaneous & Wild Ales

7.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Can from Valley Beverage, Sherman Oaks. Cloudy yellow, chunks of yeast, thin head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong initial tart fruit overwhelmed by vanilla and sweet fruit. Taste is tart fruit start to finish with intervening vanilla and some sweet fruit. Smooth texture, medium bodied, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Not my favorite style, by a long shot, but the craft here is undeniable. Too bad the marketplace couldn't support an artisan like this. I know a bunch of people who would really like this.
