    Anybody here get a hold of Noble's latest release? Is this going to be another Tongue Tickles?

    Is this going to be difficult to find? I'm driving down from the central coast this Thursday and was hoping to find some at Vendome in Fullerton after a trip to the Bruery tasting room. Never had any Noble Ale Works at all.

    Noble is your best bet, haven't seen bottles at the local shops yet. Noble is about the same distance as Vendome from the Bruery, just the other direction. If it's not rush hour it might even be quicker to get to Noble since it's a few exits down the 57.

    Why? Go straight to Noble, only a 5 minute drive from the Bruery. Go to the source. Before it's gone.

    Thanks for the reply, I might have to do that. I'm going down to Orange County with family. Since it's only one day, I was hoping to go to Vendome or something like that because I'd like to pick up some Kern River, Beachwood and Noble Ale at one spot if possible.

    good luck on Kern River. Just Outstanding has made a few wonderful appearances but not much lately...they're just starting to be distributed down here again.

    Just had this earlier today as well. Simply awesome. Way better than TT and I enjoyed TT.

    It's been awhile since I last had KR Citra (way too long!) so my memory is fuzzy but I want to say that CS is on par with it.

    22 oz. bottles are $9 at the tasting room.

    Citrusy & grassy feel and taste. I enjoyed TT very much but this CS is a lil better. Very limited from what I here. Only 4 bottle limit at the brewery. This one will dissapear even quicker than TT. Get it while its hot. Evan has made a statement here in the OC that Noble is here to stay in a big way. Nelson Showers is up next.

    Here at the tasting room now. This beer is fantastic! Bottles still available. Looking forward to Nelson Showers quite a bit. Noble is really stepping up their game.

    Just stopped by and picked up some bottles. Was told they have sold 30 of ~ 60 cases. Looking forward to getting home and cracking them open!

    Looks like Sunset Beer Co got some bottles in. Hoping I'll see some bottles in west LA early next week.

    Choo choo! Hype train, coming through! I thank you guys. I mean, there hasn't been much for us West Coasters to toss around our trade weight with since Beat, and that seems like a month ago!

    Hype or not this is good. Will take this over HF Double Citra and Kern Citra. :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

    Oh come on, I'm going to down this stuff like there's no tomorrow. I loved tongue tickles, but man was the thread for that feeling like it was a chicken little situation.

    It's hitting the usual spots that got Noble this week. Just scroll on by. It doesn't have the "Mohawk Bend IPA fest" seal of hypproval, so it may sit with that Pistol Whip for more than we assume.

    I still have a bottle of KR Citra, and while that's in the slightly over 60 days turf, I'll do a side by side. But, like, It's sort of saying "I'll take sex from my girlfriend over doing the nasty with Kate Upton any day!" You know that those two times in the year Kyle bust out his lotto wheel next year, you'll be lined up to take that trip past Bakersfield. :wink:
