Noble's "Showers"

For those of you at the tasting room right now... how is Sorachi Ace Showers? Noble hyped it as really wild. I'm just not sure it is it wildly good or just wildly bizarre.

 

I'm guessing it sucks like every other sorachi ace ipa.


Also, it's already available for growler fills which is telling

 

Their original post said no growler fills, did something change?

 

What other single hop Sorachi Ace IPA's are there? Any available in O.C? Don't think I've ever tried one.

 

Not a lot available out there because single hopping with that hop is generally pretty weird. Societe put up a single hop sorachi ipa that tasted weird as fuck a few months ago. Other than that, Beachwood has Hop Ramen on, which is a blend of hops, but has a big dose of sorachi ace.

 

Thanks, appreciate it. I've been wanting to try Hop Ramen and hopefully I will have the chance soon.

 

did you hear about the Cosmo Showers release? they're keeping it a bit quiet

 

I love the smell of Sorachi Ace hops, it just sucks that the smell doesnt translate to the taste.

 

I liked Sorachi Bachelor!!! It was smooth, easy drinking, but yes, different. It was one of those love it or hate it beers.

Considering how their first barrel aged Stout went [Fig Poppa] I hope the sour surpasses expectations.

 

I gotta say, noble is killing it with their gose variants these days, had goser the goserian last night, delicious.

 

I'll be there on Monday. Hope they have a killer taplist full of leftovers from the Anniv. Party

 

I see they have "I Love It" back on tap at the brewery. Does anybody know how much it is for a 32oz growler fill? Taphunter shows it at $15. That can't be right. A 16oz pour is $6.

 

$15 sounds right since its a "premium".it was $25 for a 64oz.

 

Lineup is solid right now. Citra Showers (among others) is back on.

 

^epic list is epic

 

NOT SPICY

 

I want to drink all of the Naughty Sauce....

 

Not Sriracha.
