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.

A light copper ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with light fruity notes, treacle, faint hops, OK. In mouth, a sweet nutty caramel malt with faint hops, so-so. On tap at brewery.

12oz bottle pours clear deep copper with a nice yet thin contrasting almost bright white ring of foam. The aroma is a little nutty, a little sweet and a little roasty. The taste hits with a mix of roasted malts, nuttiness and sweet crystal maltiness. To midway and into the finish it picks up some malt earthiness and a faint yet vague hoppiness. Decent enough.

Like a heavily toasted ipa or American pale. Very nice hop presence when fresh. Good stuff.
