| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 1, 2003 Updated: Jul 27, 2007Re-rated at the brewpub in Tucson: deep yellow, still and sticky. Starchy aroma, but nice floral flavors, lightly spiced and fruit-hoppy, but light. Very well done. My rating goes way up. Cletus (5057), Connecticut, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 6, 2006 Pour was hazy amber with basically no head and little lacing. The aroma was a little off with some light hops the only thing beer-like to it. The flavor was quite a surprise for a "blonde ale," as this one had a lot to it. Nice caramel malts in the flavor, some honey, spices (somewhat festbier-like), and a nicely hopped (floral) balance to it. Came across somewhat like a lager, crisp and low in ale flavor "noise." Very impressed, but this can’t really be a "blonde" ale. I’d change the classification if I could only figure out what it really is. A great grab from my last AZ trip in any event. emacgee (1891), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 24, 2009 Thanks to turdferguson for sharing. Pours a soft yellow with amber hues. Head is thin and white. The nose is pretty interesting, fruity, estery, background malty sweetness. The flavor is also very interesting and turd put his fingers on it exactly. Its peach skins. Smells and tastes very strongly of peach skins. Has a mild subdued bitterness with a nice complimentary malt sweetness. Very nice character. Has a persistent medium bitterness in the mouthfeel. Very enjoyable, especially for being 3.5 % alc. Gusler (2655), Tucson, Arizona, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 30, 2003 "Arizona Beerfest"!
It was nice to see the "Great Beer Lovers" from Nimbus at the beerfest, and they had several of their beers to sample.
The beer is a winsome golden blond on the pour, the head is modest and bright white, frothy in texture and as it erodes, leaves behind a nice bit of lace. Nose is all malt, clean and fresh, crisp and just the kind of beer we like to drink when the temperature hits 115 degrees. Finish has a delicate hops presence, mildly acidic and a pleasingly dry aftertaste.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 20, 2008 this is a great session beer that satisfies a hot summer’s day b.b.q’n the hue is rusty gold followed by a sweet malt nose. it has a very unique taste thanks to the "killer-bee" honey used in the brew. this is a really easy to drink ale and most likely one, if not the BEST graphics ever put on bottle, (just my opinion... there are many more) littlefelix (29), Santa Clarita, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Apr 23, 2007 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.
