Men At Murk
Noble Ale Works

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A: Orange. Haha, this thing pours an obvious "murky" orange with a small white silky head almost reminiscent of nitro brews. Leaves a mild surface coverage but laces well.

A: Smalls like grapefruit, rind of said fruit, pine, and a orange and vanilla 50/50 bar.

T: Taste follows with plenty of tropical fruit influence. The Kaffir lime leaves seems noticeable in a lime like flavor, however I've never eaten Kaffir lime leaves so I wouldn't know for sure. Really enjoying the creamsicle finish.

F: Smooth, soft, creamy, rich, mild carbonation, balanced but definitely showcases fruity sweetness and fruit peel like bitterness. Overall, feels like a slightly watered down milkshake.

O: One of favorite Noble (and collab) can releases to date. Very enjoyable, great flavor and feel. Don't know if I could tackle multiples in one night, but love this as a night cap or dessert beer. Cheers!

 

 

Poured from the can.
Definitely a murky beer. But the look is almost muddled peach meets golden straw. But in a roiled kinda way as opposed to "hazy."
Smell is very citrus forward at first. Reminds me of rubbing lemon verbena leaves and inhaling deeply.
Taste begins with the citrus: lemon zest, a tad of pith, and a floral lemon that moves toward lime and maybe a hint of apricot or peach but heads right back to lime.
A little prickly in the mouth. Medium body.
Overall, I might ask for would be a little more "juiciness" in the flavor and a little less of that prickly carbonation.

 

Poured into tulip. Cloudy brownish orange color, slightly dirty looking. Creamy thick head and mild lacing. Dank juicy hop smell with a mild citrus background. Taste starts with a mildly bitter juiciness that runs around the mouth and lands on the center of the tongue with a strong bitter stomp. The citrus is hiding, but it's in there. Subtle alcohol presence, very flavorful and smooth. Noble has these dirty double IPAs dicked, I tellya.

A: Pretty fragrant, quite hoppy with lots of melon and tropical fruit, with a light lime character.

A: Pale yellow color, super murky and opaque, with a thinnish white head that had decent retention before forming a film and light ring around the glass.

T: Very hoppy, with lots of melon and light tropical fruit hop flavors, coupled with moderately light lime, moderately juicy with a moderate hop leaf bitterness.

M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation, drinks pretty smooth and hides its alcohol well.

O: Better than I expected; lime leaves can be really intense and overpower other aromas and flavors, but this beer does a solid job at playing a nice background role. The beer has lots of melon and tropical fruit, with a slightly more bitter finish, than I would have liked. However, still pretty damn drinkable.
