Had a pint of this at my boi little Nicky's 30th at some podunk bar in Fullerton, CA.
So there Raul was: one girl on each side. On the right was one of little Nicky's sisters l, and on the left was this lil minx that kept on grabbing Raul's arm and flirting with him as her boyfriend sat near. (Raul don't play games like that, my peeps. Don't do it!)
Anyway, to defuse the situation, Raulsky ordered the only beer that seemed palatable - and drinkable it was. Not the crispest, not the most robust, not the most flavorful, and not the most balanced; but at the end of the day, when you got your homies sister on one side and a sneaky little fox - whose next move is unpredictable - on the other, a Noble Pale Ale is mighty fine to level the mood.

On tap at Noble Ale Works in Anaheim, CA.
Billed at the tap room as Breakaway Pale Ale with the same ABV, so I will assume it's the same beer.
Pours a hazy orange with a foamy beige head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, citrus fruit, and citrus zest. Taste is much the same with a citrus zest flavor on the finish. There is a medium amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and medium bodied mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer with a great smell but the taste doesn't match up in my opinion.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass.
A- Great clear golden body, nice fluffy white head, decent retention, decent carbonation.
S- WOW. More on the IPA side, hoppy, floral, some light malt. Very intriguing on the nose for the style!
T- Wow again! Hoppy, little bit of citrus, sweet malt balance and again a nice hop bite in the end. Not typical for the style, but it has a great drinkability.
MF- Smooth, light-medium body, light-medium carbonation, crisp and leaves a great finish that hangs around with a subtle bitterness.
O- Still impressed by this brewery, great stuff, must try! I am definitely looking forward to more!!!

They call this one "Breakaway Pale Ale," but it's the same ABV as what's reviewed here. Great aroma of orange blossoms. A hoppy sort of Pale Ale but a very flowery and friendly version.
Golden amber in the pint glass. Decent cap of foam. Sharp and lightly spritzy on the tongue. Some resins as you sip. Really drinkable, and an excellent example of the APA style. Loads of hop aroma and flavor with a quaffable level of bitterness.
Drank this on tap at Beachwood Barbecue in Seal Beach.

22oz brown bomber with no freshness date.
LOOK: Great clarity, bright golden hue, sufficient froth
SMELL: Clean, mildly biscuity, herbal, mineral, mild fruitiness, hay, taffy
TASTE: Slightly smooth, medium bodied, biscuity, grainy, dried grass, mealy apples, herbal, earthy, balanced hop bitterness, dired fruit, peppery, drying finish
A pretty bold but still very manageable, just a fun lovin' pale ale. Balanced but still a bit agressive upfront. I could have just said delicious as well.
