Noble Ale thread. . .anything Noble related

Thursday Thursday is currently going on at Native Son and Noble apparently brought something called Cashmere Showers. I don't think I've ever heard of that kind of hop before.

 

Interesting.. never heard of it either. Could it be a reference to an actual hop?

 

Pupil, Apprentice, and Roustabout are top notch, though to your point I'd look forward to some new offerings from them.

 

This is what they posted on instagram:

Hopefully this will be the latest showers beer to get bottled then

 

hopefully nothing like the sorachi ace

 

The times are a changin

 

From a DraftMag article a couple of years ago, makes me look forward to hopefully getting any bottles they run of this, "Cashmere
What it is: a cross between Cascade and Northern Brewer
What it’s like: This was the most unusual hop, and definitely the crowd favorite. Tropical coconut, peach and tangerine filled out the aroma, while a similar flavor profile paired coconut, melon, tangerine and lemongrass.
Style suited for? IPA all the way. Pair this with exotic Mosaic for an absolute tropical hop bomb."

 

so ive drunken sip, heady, beachwood, and alpine over the last few days.

drinking tounge tickles bottled 2/11 rt now....man it has so much more yummness than the others

so glad they distribute here in sd

 

Ready to re-evaluate?

 

I got the chance to drink some Cashmere Showers today after Friday's abysmal Ducks' game. It's...interesting? I honestly don't know what I expected with that beer.

 

haha touche.

 

For packaged beers, sure. Funny I just popped in to this thread. Last night I drank a Tongue Tickles, Just Outstanding, Mayberry, and Hop Tanker. When I was done I realized none were SD beers. I would have had a Thrillseeker, but the price tag kept me from buying more than the one I already drank. I do my best to keep my money in San Diego, so for me to reach for those breweries every time I see them fresh is telling.

One it comes to draft only offerings SD is still head and shoulders above though. Pizza Port OB alone has 6 Hoppys on right now that are as good or better than anything in a bottle.

To circle back on topic, I don't see the point of ranking breweries. Tier them up if you want. Do that and Noble is right there in tier one for the entire country. Love Noble.

 

It was on yesterday when I left at about 5. Didn't have it though.

 

It was on Friday night and I expect it'll last the weekend.

 

I liked Cashmere Showers quite a bit. Got a flight and liked it a lot more than Glory Daze and Success Shun (and those weren't bad at all) I think they were doing growler fills yesterday.

 

disappointed I love it didn't come out in bottles :/

probably not going to get cashmere showers if it comes out based on rvws from someone I know

thinking of maybe picking up another tounge tickles at my local spot...not sure tho

 

Anyone know if Glory Daze is named after one of the greatest movies of all time, Glory Daze?

 

If not, that would be one heck of a coincidence.
