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.

arminjewell (2444) - Parker, Colorado, USA - DEC 29, 2009
Pours red with little to no head, aroma lacking any real character. Taste is full of caramel sweetness with little hop aroma, but no real flavor. Not recommended.

Doon (106) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - JUN 7, 2009
Pours a cloudy copper color with a small head and minimal lacing. Slightly malty flavor with a very thin mouthfeel. Flavor has little complexity...Kind of like one of my homebrew attempts. About the only positive thing I can say is that when it’s in a cold glass, it soothes the burn I got on my palm while cooking dinner...Ahhhhhh..

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - MAY 13, 2009
Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, caramel and lots of citrus and peach notes from the hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, peaches, and oranges, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

theisti (2371) - Leawood, Kansas, USA - APR 29, 2009
12 oz bottle from Sparky27. Pour is a hazed orangish ruby. One inch off white head falls pretty quickly, with some lacing. Aroma of resin, grain, spicy black pepper bitterness and a mineral earthiness. Interesting nose. Taste is resin toasted malt grain with strong resin hoppiness on top of that. The mineral earthiness is present, mostly in the dirty finish. As this warmed, a weird sour spicy vegetable character came out that detracted. Palate is unfiltered, thinnish to watery. Normal carbonation, nice drinkable beer. Thanks Eric.

clong83 (265) - San Diego, California, USA - APR 8, 2009
Caramel on the nose and the majority of the flavor. Some hop spiciness in the background, but not as big as I like. Sweet and a bit thin. Sessionable for sure.
