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.

Had one in Tucson Airport, during a 3 hour delay. A beer so diferent to others you just have to have one. Once you taste it you got to have another. It is rich in flavor, not so in aroma. Thick foam-head, actually good flavor. Maybe the best beer I´ve had in a long time.

Amber, nicely headed. Caramel tones predominate, yet there’s a note of hop as well. Malty and sweet but with a nice bitter finish. Good Amber-style American.

FalcoAlto, thank you.This poured red, at least to my computer screen. Tan head left rather fast, good lacing. Sweet aroma, with some pine-lemon grass. The taste was great, very refreshing with a touch of fruit and malt sweetness, balanced with some hops. There is some citrus notes in this, like orange juice. This was almost too easy to drink.

Courtesy of FlacoAlto. Very aromatic malt and hop with the hops making the whole thing mildly citrusy. Amber color with a nice fluffy white head. Toned down malt/bread flavors with ample hop citrus and bitter notes. Nicely done ale from what i am coming to think is a very underrated brewery.

12 oz Bottle: Outstanding! I like ambers, this is true, but this is muct hav ebeer if in AZ, or where distributed. For an amber is full and rich. Pours a light orangy-amber color with a very nice fluffy white head and some good lookn’ carbonation. Aromas are of hops some (although not a ton) of suagay sweet malts, and some other aromas such as nutty, roasted/burnt, grass, and citrus. The flavor began citrusy, then morphed into hops, malts, and some more hops. Although it wouldn’t please a ’hop head’ I was suprised by the level of hops in the beer. Quite good is all I can really sum it up with.

I loved the aroma on this beer! When the glass is full, the smell is a faint whiff of hops, but as you drink the glass down, that wonderful aroma gets stronger and stronger!!! I enjoyed it immensely!

Sweet malts and barbecue sauce in the aroma. Red amber in color with a decent head and some lacing. Juicy fruit flavor with light grapefruit and a salty finish. Very tangy and nicely delicious. Thanks to FlacoAlto.
