Lost Abbey Cable Car

Amber beer with an off-white head. Tart, fruity aroma. Peachy fruit, very tart flavor with some oak. Lingering oak and tartness with lots of woodiness and almost some tar. Nice.

Big thank to Larry for this beer. Wasn’t sure I would ever see a bottle. Pour is a golden orange. Small, bubbly white head. Aroma is sour fruit and mild funky. Mildly tart flavor with a touch of sweetness. Pleaseant mouthfeel and body.

Bottle from Toronado SD. Clear golden with a fluffy white head. Sour, funk, and cherry aroma with hints of vanilla and oak. Green apple, lemon, white wine taste with notes of creamy vanilla and cherries and a dry finish.

Thanks Goldtwins. Up there, if not better, with the best of Russian River. Great sour punch on top of the yeasty character. Great aroma filled with funk and citrus fruit. Tart and barnhouse aroma. A golden colored brew with no head and some carbonation.

Once again, a huge thanks to Vince over at the Port Brewery for hooking me up with a few tasters of this one. I had just finished talking with Justin on the phone about how i wanted to try cable car and proximus when vince offered me a couple samples of each. Needless to say, I was pretty stoked. Anyway, thanks again Vince. Pour was a hazy, murky yellow with pretty active carbonation. A sweet citrusy funk fills your nostrils as it’s poured. Slight floral notes blend in beautifully with light fruit scents. The taste so complex that it took a few sips to really identify what i was tasting. Tart but smooth citrus flavors with a little bit of a bite on the finish. Absolutely amazing. I would kill to get my hands on another bottle of this stuff.
