Nothing Noble
Von Ebert Brewing

 

 

This is the 2021 edition and alcohol is listed as 7.4 percent. Clear bright yellow brew with plenty of foam in the Hopleaf goblet. Lush and spritzy on the tongue. Flavors are grapey and coconut in the finish. Boldly fruity stuff with green apricot and some melon flavors.

This is a textbook West coast IPA, but updated with interesting hops, which the brewers say are Nelson Sauvin, Galaxy, Idaho 7, and Mosaic. Just a clean fruity bitterness without the astringency. Actully quite delicous and might be one of my favorite IPAs of the year. From the 16 oz can dated 10/27/21.

 

16 oz can purchased from Roth's in West Salem OR.

Pours a slight hazy deep golden coloured body with a wonderful thick and rocky white head.
Aromas of grape skins, fragrant summer flowers and lemon rind. Very nice.
Taste similar to the aroma but with a wee bit of cutting bitterness right at the end.
Mouth feel is excellent. Very well carbonated and semi-dry finish.
Very good IPA..so drinkable and this one is 4 months old!

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a slightly hazy, medium golden amber with a one finger white head with great retention and lacing. Aroma of lightly caramel malt, citrus and dank hops, orange, mixed tropical and stone fruit. Flavor is pale malt, citrus and dank hops, vague citrus and tropical fruit, a little pine developing into the finish, which is moderately bitter and a little resinous. Medium bodied with light creaminess. This has a bunch of different hops in it, including Mosaic and the hop bill kinda tastes that way: lots of fruit, but rather muddled. The pine notes in the finish redeem the flavor. There is not much grassiness, which is hinted at in the name. The hops taste a lot like Southern Hemisphere varieties, which always taste a bit busy to me. Still hits the spot on a hot evening when I was really craving an IPA.
