Commercial Description:
Nimbus Red Ale is a rich, medium-bodied American-style amber ale. Known for its sophisticated mouth feel and exceptional drinkability, our Red Ale is a true classic. Copper-hued and well-balanced, Nimbus Red Ale has a lightly sweet taste enhanced with the flavor of four different malt varieties and flaked barley. We brew this beer with handpicked Chinook and Cascade hops. This combination gives our Red a mild malt sweetness and a relatively dry, aromatic finish. Never bitter, Nimbus Red is sure to please the beer lover who enjoys lighter flavors and a lower alcohol content. It's crisp, refreshing taste has made our Red a fixture at major sporting events throughout Southern Arizona.

Silty copper with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet caramel, some fruity twang and citrus hop notes. Moderate sweet malt character with an off-putting twang. Hop flavors and bitterness are well done. The twang throws me, my palate is not happy through the remaining experience.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of FlacoAlto. Slightly hazy amber golden with an off-white head. Some aroma hops in the nose together with overripe fruit and a light acidity. Light in body with notes of caramel and fruit and a distinct bitter finish, which comes a little surprising. 130608

12 fl oz bottle. Pours cloudy and golden orange with a lacing white head. Pinewood dry hoppy aroma. Flavour is initially dry hoppy with a solid bitterness accompanied with a light fruity note. Mild sweetness following before the finish. Ends dry and light malty.

Nimbus Red is a smooth beer that reminds me a lot of Killians Irish Red. A very tasty beer to have on tap.

Poured into Red Sox pint glass. Enormous head that lingers long after the pour. Rich red color, but not overly dark. Malty nose. Complex malt flavors, one of which is (again) sour. Clean aftertaste for such a complex brew.

Pours a cloudy reddish brown with a soapy off white head. Aroma of malt and hops. Flavor is malt, faint hops, a little bitterness and some earthiness. Interesting brew.

Pours a nice red color with white head. Some lacing present after a few minutes. Aroma is malt, but like malt right as you add to the brew kettle. Very nice. Spicy hop aroma is present too. Flavor is heavy malt with the same hop presence at the end. A little sweet, but there seems to be a bit dustiness or muskiness. Light to medium body and the finish is a nice hopping as mentioned above. A nice red.

Had on tap at my favorite spot, Newport Pizza and Ale house. Nice light amber hue, sweet hints of citrus, gentle hops waves. Has a soft yet lingering finish. Pretty damn good with my slice of Ron Jeremy pizza~
