April 27th, 2015 - At the time of writing, pilsners have come back into the beer zeitgeist, but in 2015 they were much more difficult to find. But Great Divide has had the Nomad for some time - clear, and topped with a great foamy head, like froth in the rapids. The aroma is high and tangy, with the clarity of the style and a touch of corn syrup sweetness. The flavor is more dry and crisp with good carbonation and a touch of alcohol burn, and a long and slightly bitter aftertaste that reminds me of my favorite drink at the moment: Pellegrino.

Aroma is a bit skunk and malt. Flavor's slightly more sweet than bitter, wet grain, not all that great Finish is on the sweet side and not in a good way.

Pours a nice clean/clear golden yellow color, nice carbonation, with a nice small white head, which leaves some nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is malty, slightly hoppy, lemony. The taste is pretty nice malty, hoppy, lemony. Medium body. Overall, a tasty brew.

Poured from a 12 OZ bottle into a pint glass. The appearance is a shiny pale gold color with a large white head. The aroma is mostly grass and nuts with some citrus. The taste is a yeasty biscuit flavor with some grass and spices. A good beer.

This beer pours a very clear yellow with a solid head. The aroma lead with that classic pilsner funk, as well as a bit of biscuit and pepper. The flavor is biscuity, a little spicy, and a touch fruity, like a little esther has crept in. The mouthfeel is fairly luxurious for a pilsner. Overall this is a very nice beer, but not a knockout.

This beer has a specific funk. Not a good funk. Look is good, but not enough carbonation for a pilsner in my book. Smell is off, taste is worse. It a was smooth feel.
