This beer was absolutely delicious. I could drink it all day if it wasn't for the 8.8%abv. The showers series from noble has yet to disappoint. A must try for all the hop heads out there. Light in color and just enough malt to let the chinook shine. The nose is dank and fruity and the flavor is beautiful chinook hoppiness. If you don't like hops this beer isn't for you

a: a hazy bright amber/orange/yellow color. looks very much like a hefe. .5-1 finger solid bright white head. real nice look to this beer.
s: dank and juicy. onions, a little garlic, juicy ripe mangos, sweet caramel, crisp grapefruit, lemon zest, strawberry. some earthy sweat-like at the end
t: follows the nose almost exactly. starts off with a little blast of sweet caramel and big bready notes. that fades to some of those earthy, garlic-y, onion-y flavors, which then transitions into some sweet topical fruit - mango and pineapple. on the end of the flavor your hit with some bitterness, but its a balanced bitterness. the bitterness comes from a nice grapefruit flavor that is balanced out well by the sweetness and the dank flavors
m: medium mouthfeel, theres also a medium level of carbonation that really helps hold the beer together nicely
o: i like this more than i thought i would. nice sweetness in here that is balanced by the other flavors to bring pretty nice harmony to this beer. its not overly bitter either, which is always a nice quality in a DIPA

On tap at Noble Ale Works in Anaheim, CA.
Smells like the heavens; like it's raining pantyhose and water bras. Taste is much the same but with a bit of astringency. Kind of like a Victorias Secret Model running through the sprinklers; it's cool, but hey baby, Raul's bed is over here.
