I have
tried a number of offerings from Great Divide and one of their latest is Nomad
(5.4% ABV and IBU) a Bohemian Pilsner.
Great Divide uses two word descriptors on their labels and Nomad has the
words “Bright” and “Elegant”. These descriptors
are spot on and this is a very nice pilsner from Great Divide. Nomad is available January – March.
Czech Pilsener – http://beeradvocate.com/beer/style/40
- Beeradvocate
Appearance – Straw yellow, clear with a silky
two-finger head.
Aroma – Smell of a classic pilsner, grain, bitter
hops and a hint of citrus (lemon).
Taste – Very clean and a little sweet to start and
then a nice finish from the hops. A very
good pilsner without the skunky taste and smell that I find so many pilsners
have.
Overall – B+ – Another really good beer from Great Divide. Great Divide is one of those brewers that you
can pick anything they offer and it will be tasty.
Website description – “NOMAD is our spin on the classic Bohemian
Pilsner style. The journey starts with
German malts and Saaz hops that offer a lively floral nose and crispness, while
a full 5 weeks of lagering time ensures that Nomad is eminently balanced. This Nomad may wander, but it’s got serious
roots.”
