Looks like there may have been some confusion between this brew, which is an IPA and the lager that Cable Car also makes. Either way. Pretty decent session beer. I dont know if the hoppiness is as fierce as they make it sound, but it's solid nonetheless. Orangeis, lots of fizzle fo shizzle. Floral on the nose, bitter on the buds.

Aroma is mainly fruity with a malty undertone. It pours a rather uninspiring clear straw yellow with a typical white head that disappears quickly. Flavor is rather wan, malty and fruity but not nearly as hearty as the aroma. Texture is a bit on the flat side, though there is a little bit of fizz. Nevertheless, I am glad that I gave this one a fair chance.

Went back for the lager after having the amber - expecting more... not happening. A lack of even average ratings in every catagory. Not down to the hateful level, but just not really even good. If I were going to pay for this again, I'd as soon have a PBR.

One more pale lager down the tubes. Enjoyed while watching my Raiders get dismantled by the Jets. Aroma is lightly sweetened with malt. Pretty pedestrian but it could have been worse. Body is a golden yellow color, frothy 2" head on the pour which melted very quickly. Flavor has some really subtle malt notes but that’s really about it. Very plain jane. It kinda works for it though, as it was easy to drink. Still, forgettable though.

Sampled from the bottle. Pours a golden color with only a small amount of head. Little lacing. Slightly grainy with touches of malt and corn. Pretty simple but refreshing and drinkable. Kind of a ho hum Lager.
