Description
Founders Javier Aldea and Sami Claret have quite an out-of-the-ordinary corporate philosophy: they’ve been brewing beer without a brewery of their own – rather, they’ve been travelling the world as beer nomads and produced their creations together with craft-beer buddies elsewhere.
Now their idea has been given a home, so to speak – and the beer nomads have settled down a bit, because since 2018 the Nómada beers are being brewed in the pilot brewhouse of Mahou San Miguel's Alovera facility. This alliance with Mahou San Miguel (with a stake of 40% in Nómada) is intended to help the brand focus more closely on the Spanish beer market.

23/IV/22 - on tap @ N'gruna (l’Estartit), pre-wedding drinks with Pierre T., BB: n/a (2022-406)
Clear blond beer, small creamy white head, little stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: bit floral, soapy, funky, unpleasant. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bitter start, a bit soapy, infected, weird brett notes which are not expected. That’s two bad beers in a row from Nomada.

Taste: weird, dirty, infected, sulphur, very soapy, weird, gentle bitterness, not good at all! Aftertaste: a bit chemical, weird, infected, don’t like it at all!

Bottle at Delicatessen, Bod�. Has a slightly hazy amber with a small light beige head. Aroma of grapefruit, grass, pine and a some diacetyl. Similar flavour but with more grass. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and a medium to heavy bitterness. Hoppy and decent. Quite bitter and a little unbalanced.

Draft @ N'gruna, Estratit.
Dorée, léger voile, col blanc.
Arôme est frais bien houblonné - assez classique avec des essences d'agrumes et tropical, litchi en rétro avec ce petit côté de 'hop bag' qui rappelle les vieilles versions US avec une effluve de pin - simple et efficace - comme c'était le cas bien avant cette marée de neipa et autre hazy.
Palais reste sur une approche plutôt classique IPA - ici, bien fruitée avec un léger effet huileux - pas mal sur le pamplemousse voire orange sanguine - rondeur de bouche rappelant l'avoine pour une bonne effervescence. Cette dernière aide à faire ressortir les houblons - effet sec presque finement boisé et un fruité qui cette fois passe sur le raisin blanc et litchi - petite note de pin également. Le malté apporte une bonne balance ) pils, pâle.

Drucken på fat på Malmö Brewings Taproom. Tropiskt fruktig och aningen syrlig snäll lättdrucken IPA. Ok

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Black, minimal head. Huge tarry Islay whisky aroma. Mid sweet with full body and dense, rounded mouthfeel. Coffee, chocolate and lots of peaty Islay whisky. Long bitter warming finish. Complex, at least in the sense of being filled with flavours from a complex whisky. The beer underneath is solid, but there for mere support.

Keg at GBBF'19 Day 1, 06/08/19. Black with a decent tan head that thins to a swirl. Nose is chocolate, spice, charr, light coffee, mellow roast. Taste comprises sweet chocolate, brown sugar malt, hint of green chilli, toffee, light spice, roast malts. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close and a light boosty punch. Finished a touch sweet but decent overall.

330 ml bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a creamy head. Grassy hoppy notes, resin, grapefruit, lemon, some caramel, pine. Crisp hoppy herbal bitterness, some light malty sweetness. Full bodied, oily texture, lively to soft carbonated, hoppy bitter finish. Quite nice and complex IPL, maybe a bit too much.

Draught @ SKAAL søndeborg. Pours hazy pale straw with airy white head. Clear aroma of citrus, with estery and floral notes. Dry, vinous flavour with rough, slightly cheesy notes of Berliner Weisse yeast. Estery and acidic aftertaste. Reasonable.
