Hazy dark amber color. Earthy caramel aroma, very light manure too. Medium body strength, caramel flavor, but with cabbage off-flavor, vegetables. Correct bitterness. Wrong.

bottle, pours dark brown with a medium tan head. Aroma is carmel malt, some toasted nutty notes with a cinnamon and peppery fire. Flavor is nice and dark malt sweet with some spicing in the finish and a little bit of tartness lingering for a few seconds. Solid.

bottle, pours light gold with a medium white head. Aroma is lightly hoppy with some citrus notes. Sweet light malt and a peach and lemon peel finish balance each other well. Hop bitterness is low. This is highly drinkable and I like the low ABV.

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.

12 oz bottle from Sparky27. Pour is mostly black with light cordovan highlights, nice full one inch taupe head. Thick lacing as the head slowly falls. Aroma of mild roasted malt, with a hint of some tangerine sweetness and dusty peanut shells. Odd, never smelled that one (peanut shells) before. Taste is flat, old office coffee with some artificial sweetener mixed in. Remarkably, the peanut taste is present in the finish - along with a decent blast of Crystal malt. As this warms, quite a bit of diacetyl reveals itself, certainly detracting. Palate is medium, decently carbonated with a longish dusty finish. Interesting enough beer, similar to the other Nimbus beers, a little but all over the place. Thanks Eric!

12 oz bottle courtesy of Sparky27. Pour is cola brown with slight ruby highlights, decent settling builds up a one inch tan head. Thick lacing coats the glass. Aroma of stale roasted maltiness, some natural tobacco earthiness in there too. Not a bad nose. Taste is the slight stale roastiness of the nose, though in the taste it is more akin to weak office coffee mixed with iced tea. Some really faint apple fruit sweetness way in back. Big step down from the nose. Palate is thin to medium, a little of a metallic chemical thing going on. Overall, not much pleasant beyond the nose. Thanks for sending these all my way Eric.

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.

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!
