Oct 26, 2008 Pours a clear light amber/blond with a minimal head. Aroma is lightly sweet caramel malt and some grapefruit. Flavor is more grapefruit with a nice malt backbone. A very good lighter variation of the style.

Oct 16, 2008 I’ve had this at the Brewery in the past and just cracked a bottle I had in the back of the frig. Pours golden with a fine white head that stays well and laces down the glass. Aroma is beautiful citrus grapefruit and even a touch of pine. Flavor is dominated by the citrus hops but also has somewhat of a frosted flakes flavor that comes through.. A nice bitter finish ends each sip. Palate is light airy and crisp and clean and quite refreshing. I liked this. S.S. is an excellent brewer, NImbus kicks ass!

Sep 30, 2008 Thanks to bhensonb for this bottle. A golden color with a huge fizzy white head that lasted for quite a white. Nose of light citrus hops and thin malts. Thin mouthfeel. Flavor is kind of musty and the finish is dry. Overall it seemed pretty ordinary but drinkable.

Sep 18, 2008 Draft at the brewery. Some citrus and grapeish aromas, hoppy to a small extent. Lost a bit on the flavor. Hops were still there, but not really anything too exciting. Eh... Just ok

Sep 9, 2008 Good enough on a warm late summer day. Huge billiowing head and a much more opaque cloudy beer than many other APAs. Piney Cascade hop aroma is evident but not a tremendously beckoning invite for the drink. Thinnish mouthfeel, hops aren’t as biting or crisply finishing as many pale ales I’ve had recently. Not a complex beer but it will do.

Aug 11, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a clear medium gold with minimal white head and spotty lacing. Nose is malt and light citrus. Taste is similar to the aroma. Has a strange resin-like, read: "like" bitter finish. Medium mouth feel. Not horrible.

Jul 27, 2008 Slightly cloudy amber light amber pour with thick, foamy white head. Lots of visible carbonation. Strong hops aroma, thick and piney. Definite hops bitterness up front, but the aftertaste is more of a slightly sweet maltiness. A tad thin. A decent brew, not spectacular but tasty.
Note - I’m assuming I’ve got the right beer, blue and turquoise with angels and monkeys on the label. Doesn’t say palo verde, just pale ale.
