An American style pale ale, this brew is hopped four times using plentiful quantities of Cascade and Columbus hops. The flavor is balanced by a subtle maltiness obtained from five varieties of malted barley and a slight fruitiness, to produce a classic beer in the style of the Pacific Northwest. A clean crisp ale with distinctive hop aroma.

Well shit. I can’t find an Arizona beer on the shelves in California, but here it is in Atlanta? What the fuck. Anyway, here is state #47. Bottle. Pours hazy amber with a large creamy white head and some weird looking small black particles sinking to the bottom. Great lacing tho. Aroma is somewhat unpleasant, actually, bathroom aromas with some caramel and bready malts. Not much going on in the hops department. This must be an old sample, but it is notched November 2012, which isn’t too bad. Flavor is better than aroma, pine and caramel with lingering bathroom. Nothing to write home about. Very light sweet and light plus bitterness lingering to the far finish. Not a very good start to my Arizona beer adventure.

Bottle. Pours a clear pale gold with a near white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has a light fruity note with some citrus hops backed by grains and a hint of popcorn. Flavor has earthy grassy hops with a hint of citrus and light fruit backed by some earthy grain.

Appearance: Clear yellow/gold with a medium sized white head and good lacing
Aroma: Stale citrus
Taste: Cardboard with bitter citrus finish
Bland with not much going on. This seems to be a Nimbus theme with the beers I’ve had.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Sparky27. Pour is hazy yellow golden slight greenish - with an explosive white head, extremely foamy and falls pretty slowly. The initial pour was about 1/2 inch liquid and 7 inches foam in my Free State Willibecher. Bunch of lacing. Aroma of faint lemon citrus sourness, some floral hop grassy bitterness behind that. Taste is the citric slight tart lemon sourness, hoppy earthy resin bitterness, floral notes and some almost wheat graininess. Palate is thin, drinkable, dry grassy finish. Interesting take on an APA, I would have guessed this was a wheat ale. Thanks for sending it my way, Eric!

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of FlacoAlto. Hazy golden with a small, off-white head and tiny impurities. Fresh, citrusy nose. Medium body with lightly sweet malts but otherwise dominated by dry, citrusy hops that leave a slightly astringent, bitter finish. 250308

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of hops giving it grassy and grapefruity notes - my guess is Cascade. The flavor has crisp malty notes with strong notes of grass and hops, as well as lighter notes of citrus and fruit, leading to a dry and very bitter finish.
