Nimbus Dirty Güera Blonde Ale

Brewed by Nimbus Brewing Company
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Tucson, Arizona USA

Pours a clear yellow to brown with a healthy white head. This looks like a blonde should, and though I don’t like the style, a beer I would like to drink. The nose is middle of the road. Toast and canned corn. Lightly sweet with some peppery hops. On the tongue, a bit fizzy, but not particularly watery, about right for the style in most regards. I’ve never IDed DMS until drinking this beer. It was always a flaw I missed. But man do I taste the corn. A lightly sweet malt, with some toast. The corn is bugging me out! The corn and toast with a bit of sharpness lingers. A bit of diacetyl on the creamy finish. Not a great beer.

Hazy gold with a white head, aroma is sweet citrus with a vegative background. Flavor follows aroma with an overall vege DMS tainting the experience. Not a blonde I would recommend.

It was a decent beer. The flavor caught me by surprise. Had some veggie, fruity flavors, but really mind. The after taste was sort of nutty/buscuity which I’m assuming is the tarty/honey stuff everyone is talking about. The half naked women painted on the bottle is what prompted me to give it a shot. Give it a shot.

Pours a mostly clear golden bronze with some suspended yeast and an airy, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of mild pale malt has a touch of tartness and grass. Body is overcarbonated and otherwise pretty thin, along with a hint of earthy noble hops and grain finishing more tart and citric toward the finish. Somewhat drinkable, but that’s about it. Overall pretty bland.

Bottle thanks to cbkschubert Poured a pale golden body with thin head. Aroma is grainy malt with some slight citrus. Flavor is bitter and a little off with a lemon background. A little weak in the flavor and somewhat thin, but my mouth warmed up to it near the end.

Bottle: Hazy dull straw, moderate frothy white head, fairly nice lacing, extremely lively carbonation.   Pale straw nose, slight wheaty aspect, but also a slight touch of overcooked vegetable.   Vegetal start, a bit thicker than your average blonde, moreso like a pale wheat beer.   Soft vegetable aspect, slightly dry and tart.   Body and mouthfeel are average, but it does feel a bit thicker than other Blonde/Golden Ales.   Finishes somewhat clean, but a musty wheat and overcooked vegetable linger.   Tiz okay I spoze, but not as crisp or sharp as others.

12 oz bottle via cbkschubert (thanks!). Pours a hazy dishwater blonde. Small head. Nose slightly spicey. Taste is on the malt-driven sweet side, with some graininess, a little tartness in the aftertaste. No hops detected. Moderate/high carbonation. medium body. Inoffensive drinkable session ale.

12oz bottle poured a clear gold color with nice head. Aroma was pritty plain with some malty sweetness and a slight corn. The taste was really light with no bitterness and some honey notes in the finish. The light body and low alcohol make for a very easy drinking beer, almost just water.
