Argus Ironhorse

In my beer exploits and adventures over the last couple of years, i will occasionally come across a brew that looks and tastes the way i imagined beer was supposed to when i was a kid.  I just looks right.  It just tastes right.  And thus, we have the Argus Ironhorse from Argus Brewery in Chicago.  The beer is a California Common style brew, coppery in color with a light head and aromas of rye and spice, and maybe some sweet hints here and there.  The bready rye taste is probably most evident when drinking this beer, though there are enough subtle spices and some light hoppy bitterness to balance the whole thing out.  The Ironhorse feels like it's of the earth, like it's something we were meant to be drinking all along in the halls and ballrooms of our communities.  Have one with a friend.

Visit the brewer.
