Nimbus (Workshop Series) (Hazy Pale Ale) | Wayland Brewing Company | Beer Review | #2212
Once again, it's Wednesday, so it's time for another installment of "Western New York Wednesday" here on the channel. This week, I'm reviewing another beer from the Wayland Brewing Company, and it's their Nimbus, which is a part of their Workshop series. This is a Hazy Pale Ale that is brewed with Vic Secret and Riwaka hops. I've really enjoyed the beers that I've had from Wayland thus far, and this sounds like it might be quite good, so let's see how it is!
Commercial Description:
Nimbus is the latest entry into our burgeoning Cloud Series of Hazy Pale Ales. Nimbus shares a grist and overall presentation with its buddy Cumulus, but is instead hopped with Vic Secret (Australia) and Riwaka (NZ) hops. These are two of our favorite hops and offer a blend of new and old school characteristics.
Pertinent Information:
Brewery - Wayland Brewing Company (Orchard Park, NY)
Beer - Nimbus (Workshop Series)
Style - Hazy Pale Ale
ABV - 5.8%

In this review, I'm going to take a look at another beer from the Sixpoint Brewery (@SixpointVision), and it's The Crisp.

Two gurus of beer reviews! 🍻
Appreciate you, Jon! Two guys who love talking about beer ... maybe a bit too much, haha! Cheers, again!
My wife picked this 6-pack up because it was in the Fall beer section at Total Wine and it is such a hit! She happens to love Amber Ale, although this plays more like an IPA. I think it’s very well-balanced and very flavorful. Perfect for cool, autumn weather in NYC! Thx for your review!
Awesome to hear that both of you enjoyed it! I passed it up for many years and finally pulled the trigger, and I was happy that I did. I do think it drinks more like an Amber Ale with some hop characteristic as opposed to an old school IPA, which I think really works well. Like you said, great for the Autumn weather! Cheers, Jon!
I’ve been drinking This beer for a few years now. To avoid the cliche of it being because of AVGN I will say my personal experiences with it. I think it’s a great starter beer for new drinkers and I think it’s also a very good social beer too because how light it is. I’m not a very big guy and I can still have one and not feel a lot of effects from it. It’s a great choice for socializing with friends or family. If your the kind of person who likes beer in a glass with a foam head this one probably isn’t for you as the foam doesn’t last too long but for what it is I think it’s a excellent and simple beer that I find myself getting whenever I’m in the mood to unwind and watch some hockey or…yes AVGN
Thanks for sharing! It fits the bill as a "beer" that you can definitely enjoy and socialize with people at a party, hosting friends at your house, a BBQ, etc. I personally don't enjoy the flavor. The finish kind of ruins it for me. That said, there's a bunch of other similar beers that I enjoy more, but they're in the same realm of Rolling Rock. I'm not a beer snob who looks down at macro/regular lagers. I'll get down with some Miller Hight Life or Genny Cream Ale. Definitely a beginner beer, and it's one that I'm happy many people enjoy. I just wish I was one of 'em, haha! Crazy how popular AVGN made Rolling Rock, though. Most of the comments are from his viewers, which is wild, but awesome. Cheers!
Wow! I wouldn’t usually except a beer with that ABV to get that high of a score from you but that speaks to how good it is. Count me as a Riwaka “Stan” as them kids might say. Maybe not Dan with Motueka levels but I just love it. I get pretty big passion fruit from it married with a peppery, resinous thing. It's really got its own identity and I can always tell it's there. Vic Secret I've heard described by brewers as Galaxy lite. if you want some of that Galaxy thing without it dominating then it's a good choice. Cheers to a killer pale ale!
I'm not one to go bonkers over Hazy Pale Ales, but this beer was definitely hitting properly. They did an amazing job with it. I could easily drink a bunch of this in one sitting, which is rare for me to say about a hazy of any kind, haha! So damn good, man. It's funny the term "Stan" originated with Eminem's song of the same name. Crazy how that song is like 25 years old. Insanity! I do enjoy Riwaka, but I think I prefer it a bit more in conjunction with other hops. A few people have told me they get that "dirty gym bag/locker room" vibe, and I get it. Like you, it's more of that spiced/peppery herbaceousness for me. I think we're just interpreting it differently, which is usually how it works. Vic Secret is a hop I usually get big pineapple, so that makes sense. Classic Galaxy = crushed pineapple. Over the years, it's changed, so it seems like Vic Secret is more like what Galaxy used to be, at least to me. Cheers, Curtis!
@@averagejoe716 I appreciate it when a mid range alcohol Pale ale/IPA is really good like that. I feel like I talk about OH all the time but they do a ton of beers in that range that I honestly enjoy just as much as the 8.5% versions. I didn’t know that Stan came from the song until not all that long ago but it makes sense once you think about the lyrics of it. Haha Dang I didn’t know people got dirty gym bag from it. Maybe it’s like the cilantro of hops. 😂 I get why someone wouldn’t like it because it’s not your typical fruit bomb like a lot of hops. I’m sure I’ve said before, but I believe it’s bred from Czech Saaz and I definitely get a bit of that character but with a bunch of that NZ character.
Citra Daydream is one of my favorite beers from them, and it's actually one of my desert island beers. I could drink it all day long! Yep. I love me some Eminem, especially more of his deeper/underground cuts. He's still going strong nowadays, and his rapping ability is just absurd. Crazy that some folks don't consider him as one of the greatest of all-time. You don't have to relate to his music, you just have to acknowledge his ability, IMO. LOL @ cilantro of hops. That's a great comparison. I think a lot of people who enjoy straight fruity juice bombs are the ones who typically don't care for it. It makes sense, but I love the unique quality of Riwaka.
@@averagejoe716 You know I’m not 100% if I’ve had Citra Daydream. I think I have at the FLX brewery but I can’t quite recall. Definitely have had All Citra Everything. Everything they do is just so good. Eminem is definitely one of the best rappers ever. No doubt. I’m younger than you but definitely remember seeing him on MTV like, who the heck is this guy. I get why people would prefer fruit bomb hops (and I definitely do as well) but it’s nice when a hop throws a curveball in there to stand out. Which is why we also like Sabro so much. No mistaking it. Haha
That beer sounds delicious Cheers 🍻 p.s. did you get my text
It was very delicious, Billy. Definitely one that you would enjoy. I did not receive any text from you. The last text I have from you is from back in June when the news broke that Chobani bought Anchor. Cheers!
Excellent review
Thank you very much! Super appreciated. Cheers!
Damn dude, you got the saliva glands flowing ! Nothing better than a sub 6% beer that is that impactful across the spectrum, aromatics, body, and flavor and is brilliantly crafted. Cheers amigo !
Right? I'm always super impressed when a brewery makes a sub-6% hazy taste like a double or imperial. It's voodoo. Wayland brews some good beer, but this was next-level. It's amazing how good it is, actually. Cheers, Bud!
let's go man let's go buffalo - great review as always - need to try more from bah hamburg and OP. The on-location is going to be great fun....
Thanks, man! I'm not sure if ABW carries their stuff, but you ain't far away. I need to check out the brewery at some point. This was such a delicious lower ABV hazy. Cheers, brother!
you are a silver fox! meoooooooow
LMAO! Wait ... do foxes meow? If so, that is wild! Cheers!
criminally underrated beer review channel
Thank you very much for the compliment! Very much appreciated! Cheers!
Absolutely!!! Joe is THE MAN!
Appreciate you, Michael! Thank you for the continued support, brother! Cheers!
how the hell can people enjoy this beer... it tastes identical to a ludens cough drop. i get a headache drinking it
I think it's one of those issues where some people get that medicinal flavor from cherry in drinks, and some don't. It's funny, if I asked 10 people whether or not this tastes medicinal or not, I'd probably get a split response. I'm not sensitive to it, so I find it OK. Some people, like yourself, hate it. On a side note, I love Luden's cough drops, so that probably helps, haha! Appreciate the comment! Cheers!
I think I have watched this video 4 times now. Now idea what you have said as I am having a major audio issue with my laptop. I have been using your video to test the audio with no luck. I hope the beer was good. it looks nice.
That sucks! Did you ever figure it out? I checked my video and it's fine, so I hope your laptop audio gets fixed, brother! The beer was quite nice, especially for a lower abv IPA with blood orange. Cheers, buddy!
@@averagejoe716 oh it's definitely my computer. Haven't fixed it. Working on a work around. I was using your video as an audio source while trouble shooting. Cheers!
Using my audio for anything is a bad decision, LMAO! Sorry to hear it's still giving you issues. I hope you figure it out. Nothing worse than PC issues. My laptop recently had the GPU overheating a bit, so I had to clean it, and now it's back to normal.
HATE THIS STOUT!!!!! I think it’s weak. I think it’s watery. I don’t think it has a creamy factor, even a Bailey’s back and vanilla ice cream does not help. It is black and nose is nice 😂 but I will never buy again.
Sorry to hear that, Heather! I'm curious, have you ever had any other nitro stouts? Cheers!
I am considering drinking a Tripel tonight and decided to watch this video before hand. I have not seen Weyerbacher in my area in a long time. I hope the tripel I drink tonight is as good as this one......it was not. Way too over the top carbonated.
Ah, that sucks! Tripels aren't easy to brew, which is probably why you don't see a lot of them in the US. Sorry to hear that, man. This was quite tasty ... and that's coming from someone who doesn't love the style. If you see it, give it a go. I think it's worth a shot! Cheers, man!
After pounding IPAs and stouts for years, I’m really starting to crave pilsners and rice lagers nowadays. Something about a crisp, cold, grassy, bready, refreshing, light, style that just tastes like beer.
I think a lot of people have had that same experience, and I think I'm one of them. Never really loved lagers, but after reviewing so many different ones over the past 2-3 years, I can safely say that I thoroughly enjoy 'em. I still love all those other styles, but the fact I can get down with a bunch of lagers is a win in itself, haha! Cheers, buddy!
Hi back for another comment prost 🍻
Always appreciate you, Billy. Hope all is well -- and cooler -- in your neck of the woods, buddy! Cheers!
I love The Crisp. It was the 2nd beer I tried from Sixpoint after Resin.
Nice! I think it's solid, but it doesn't compare to Resin and some others from them. I much prefer their old school hop-forward beers, for sure. Cheers!
I love in Hamburg NY and just picked up a 18 pack of these for 13 bucks. Love the beer. This is my go-to in my area. Cheers
Nice, Sammy! Where did you buy it? Consumers Beverages will occasionally have some deals where there's instant and/or mail-in rebates on a lot of products like Molson Canadian, Labatt Blue, etc. Appreciate the comment, dude! Cheers!
smuggled beer over the border - makes it even better!!!! great review.
LMAO! He didn't smuggle it, but if he did ... you'd be right, haha! Thanks, man! The beer was fantastic. Cheers, duder!
Sounds lip smacking delicious ! Cheers amigo !
It was absolutely fantastic, Bud! There's a handful of breweries doing great things in Canada, specifically Ontario and Quebec. Badlands is one of 'em, and they kill it. Cheers, brother!
My new favorite dipa is seirea nevada brewery there hazy day ipa. Wow fucking wow joe. It's so good the only bummer is it's only available online and it is a limited release the cost was $25 a 4 pack shit I should of bought more. Cheers 🍻
That sounds awesome, Billy! I'd love to try it, but they don't ship to NY state, and like you said, it was limited. Sounds amazing! A bit pricey, but at the same time, that's what people pay for Monkish, Green Cheek, North Park and more. Glad you loved it, though! BTW, what was the name of it? Cheers, dude!
Sorry I missed it, Citra and Mosaic are 2 of my favorite hops, and Simcoe doesn't suck...the only downside to Badlands seems to be their small distribution as it's hard to get your hands on it if you don't live in the area...
Yeah, it seems to be tougher to grab their stuff than most. I'm very appreciative that Sean grabs some of their beer from time to time, and he's such a great dude that he offered to bring down some of their anniversary releases. Cheers, Fraser!
I have never thought about freezing thin mints. I will have to try that. The name makes it sound like it would be amazing! Sounds like a solid beer over all. Great Shirt!
Dude, it's amazing! I never started doing it until maybe 5-10 years ago, but it's a whole 'nother level. This beer is solid, but missed the mark a little bit. Definitely a fun one to try, though. Cheers, brother!
Cheers 🍻 Joe I'm still here taking it day by day
How are you doing, though? I'm glad you're taking it day by day, dude. I'm sure the recovery has been long and frustrating, but keep pushing, brother! Cheers, Josh!
I had a beer with mint and it was pretty good can't remember the brand. Mint in beer is like cinnamon in beer they have to be careful because it can over power the beer. Cheers 🍻
I remember seeing Guinness Chocolate Mint Stout and Shipyard Mint Chocolate Stout. The Shipyard one was in bombers only back before 4 packs replaced them.
You're spot-on, Billy. There's certain ingredients in beer that can make or break a beer, and those certainly qualify for me. Thankfully, this one really worked well. I've had a handful of mint chocolate beers before, including the Shipyard one mentioned by Chaz, and they've been interesting. I think a lot of breweries like to steer clear because it's hard to balance. I love 'em and wish there were more available! Cheers, dude!
Your reviews make or break a purchase for me. 😊
I'm glad I can help, man! I try to give my honest opinion with every beer I review, and we all have different palates, but if my reviews can help you in some way when deciding what to purchase, I'm happy to hear that. I hope I don't steer you wrong, haha! Cheers again, buddy!
Had a turbo Friday night on tap at El-fredos pizza. Verdict? I'm going to Hyvee to pick a 6 up. Good review!🎉😊.
Noice, Danny! It's a damn good WCIPA for the price point and availability. 3F rarely misses for me. Cheers, dude!
Heck yeah! I had the single of this beer and thought it was fantastic. You’re right that it’s just straight up lemon-lime.
I'm going to grab the single when it's released. I remember you mentioning it before, but have never seen singles of it. This was straight lemon-lime creamsicle for me. So damn good! Cheers, Curtis!
@@averagejoe716 I think you’ll like it although from my memory it’s not the usual OH body and is more in the medium range, but is super drinkable. I’d also imagine quite a bit less sweet since it’s lower ABV. The flavor of Motueka is just so good.
Yeah, I would expect both of those things to check out. I'm fine with a medium-bodied beer at 6.5% ABV. I'm sure the mouthfeel is still pretty epic based on the oats/lactose. I'll have to grab it the next time they release it, for sure.
Lol isn't Dan from Flx a big Motueka-guy?? Haha.. great review love other half daydream series! Solid review!
Yep. It's his favorite hop. He actually just checked this one in yesterday because he never did before. Pretty funny. Thanks, man! I love the series, as well. Cheers, brother!
@@averagejoe716 haha that's too funny!! 🍻 keep drinking the good stuff!!
Great take buddy ! 83 locations eh ? Cheers amigo !
Only 82 locations ... LMAO! Thanks, Bud! Crazy to see how much of a reach Other Half has at this point. Never thought I'd see the day. Cheers!
Sucks it’s not available in California 😢😢😢
I hope, at some point, they reach the Western part of the US. This beer is very tasty, and even the Traditional Lager is better than most macro lagers. Cheers!
@@averagejoe716 yes I just picked up some of the Oktoberfest 👍👍
Nice, man! I'm not a huge fan of their Oktoberfest, but I hope you enjoy it more than me. Let me know what you think about it!
a much better one is athletic brewing's wits peak
That is one of the few that I haven't tried from them. If I see it, I'll give it a go. Appreciate the recommendation! Cheers!
I've been drinking Athletic for a few years now - mostly the Run Wild IPA. I just discovered the Hazy IPA, and it's my favorite from this brewery. I'm not aware of a non-alcoholic line that is as tasty as Athletic, so if anyone can make additional recommendations, I'm all ears.
Thanks for the comment, Patrick! My favorite N/A Hazy IPA is Just the Haze from Samuel Adams. Not sure if you've tried it out, but it's quite delicious, and I enjoy it more than this. As for other non-alcoholic breweries, there's Go Brewing out of Chicago that is supposedly quite solid, but I've only had one beer from them that was just OK. Deschutes Black Butte N/A Porter = my favorite non-alcoholic beer to date. They also have their Fresh Squeezed N/A IPA, and it was quite solid, too. Untitled Art has a non-alcoholic line that is surprisingly good, as well. Hope this helps! Cheers!
@@averagejoe716 I've not tried Just the Haze but will absolutely give it a try, and I'll look into the others you suggested as well. Thanks so much for the information!
Nice! If you do, let me know what you think. Worth giving it a go, IMO.
Cheers 🍻
Cheers, Billy!
Seen this beer last night. Passed on it cuzz of the lactose, would have bought it, but there was like 3 other new beers from OH. Finally a decent drop from Other Half. Cant read the dates on the bottom of the can...pissed.
I’d give their daydream series (those all have lactose) a try some time. They do a good job of not overdoing it. It’s a little sweet but far from cloying to me. Nothing like a milkshake IPA or something like that. The cool thing about that daydream series too is it’s always a single hop I believe.
I typically don't have issue with the dates on Other Half's cans, so that's weird. Maybe it all depends on which location they come from? This can specifically was crystal clear on the bottom of the can. Also, I agree with Curtis. The lactose in this series isn't overwhelming. Never becomes cloying and just helps out the body and mouthfeel without being over the top. That vanilla hint isn't too big. I don't think the series is exclusively single-hopped, but the vast majority definitely are. There's been so many releases at this point, I lose count. Cheers, boys!
gold medal - glass and can match. this beer i've had - numerous times - i love it. other half rocks and we are fortunate in WNY to get them readily....great review brother - let's go buffalo...
No doubt, dude! The fact they're available all over WNY is awesome. Love that I can buy singles, and the dudes over at Other Half Buffalo were too kind. Cheers, brother!
Sounds like I want more Other Half stuff. It's been too long since I've been across the river. Good review, Joe. Cheers!
Good thing B&B and Tops in Lewiston both have them regularly. B&B gets weekly drops of their stuff, too. All available as singles, you can't beat it! This was delicious. Thanks, Chris! Cheers, buddy!
Mmm... Helles Lager & Coffee. Just stop it Joe! Sounds delightful dude.
You know it, buddy! This would be right in your wheelhouse, good sir. Cheers, Sammy!
I love Blue Moon. One of my fave easy to get beers alongside Franziskaner and Hoegaarden. The best AF beers I've had are the Bavaria Wit and the Lucky Saint lager. I loved Nanny State too from Brewdog back in the day too. Cheers Joe!
Nice, Dave! My preference when it comes to Witbiers is Allagash White here in the US. It's so damn good, plus it's much cheaper than most imports. Never had the Bavaria Wit or Lucky Saint Lager, but I'll add them to the list and see if I can get either around here. Cheers, man!
ok, I almost never drink Blue Moon, like I tried it once or twice in the past. However, I have not had a real beer in six months. About two months ago I started drinking non-alcoholic beers. And I have tried a wide range of them, but have not yet tried Blue Moon non-alcoholic, however it is ubiquitous in stores. So maybe I will give it a shot.
It's worth giving it a shot. Doesn't drink like the regular Blue Moon, but I find it's a tasty beverage, especially if you like orange soda pop or even something like Tang. Hope you dig it if you do try it, man! Cheers!
I see genesee ice among the others that you mentioned. around where i live. All good beers
Good to hear! I like the Cream Ale the most. I wish they would bring back 12 Horse Ale. That is a good one, too! Cheers!
In order from best to worst in my opinion is. Cream,ice,regular,light
We are on the same page, with this one. On the SN website, they explain about how Cryo Fresh, means it stays fresh for ever, or something like that. Didnt read it all. For some reason this is 11.99 at one store. Would like to see more, of these kinda beers, in 12 packs, for a great price. My six pack was like 7 weeks old, i believe as well. Would like to see it fresher, of course. But i was still impressed.
I do wish more of their beers, in general, were offering in 6 or 12 packs instead of variety packs. That goes for a lot of breweries, actually. This is my favorite in the series at this point. I would happily drink it again. Cheers, dude!
Thank you for this review. I’ve been looking for Utopias WWS and 120 Minute for a while. Hoping to get lucky.
Glad you enjoyed the review, man! I hope you get a chance to try it at some point. Such a fun and delicious beer. Cheers!
I was really disappointed in this one
Sorry to hear that, Sean! It seems this one has some varying opinions, so I get it. It's probably my favorite within the series, but I still haven't tried Dank Little Thing, which a handful of viewers have said is pretty damn good. Cheers, man!
I totally agree, one of the best from the series! Cheers, Joe!
Noice! I'd say it's my favorite too, although a lot of people seem to dig Dank Little Thing, but I haven't seen it locally. Really want to try it, so I hope I can grab one at some point. Cheers again, Michael!
If you're saying its the best in the Little Thing line then I believe it but the few ones in the Little Things series I had I hated so I have no interested in anymore of them. I wish they'd get rid of the entire series. I remember Sunny Little Thing and Wild Little Thing being almost undrinkable. Maybe Crisp Little Thing could be the best one because its a lager and not a mediocre IPA.
See, I think the Little Thing series is fine and serves its purpose. It's a nice "shelfie" IPA series from a reputable brewery. I've enjoyed most in the series, but I also don't go into it comparing it to local/regional breweries pumping out great hazy beer. This is probably my favorite of the series, but it's not mind-blowing or setting a new standard. For less than $2/can, I can get behind it, though. That said, if you don't like the series, this one is probably not changing your mind. I had no idea they released a Crisp Little Thing, but I just checked, and it looks like it's only available in a variety pack. Bummer. Cheers, Chaz!
Got this one chillin out in the fridge, hopefully I can get to it this weekend. Cheers!
I hope you enjoy it, Rodney! Not mind-blowing or anything, but for a cheaper "shelfie" Hazy IPA, I think it's pretty dang good. Seems to be some varying opinions on this one, so who knows. I'm looking forward to your check-in! Cheers, dude!
My bad. I have the cosmic little thing hazy double ipa. Lol
great review, good to see your still doing these, keep it up cheers
Thanks, man! I'll continue to do them until I don't enjoy them any longer. I still love it, though. Appreciate the comment! Cheers!
There hazy series is pretty solid. Had that one and it was pretty good. But my favorite in the series is dank little thing. Cheers 🍻
Still haven't seen Dank Little Thing. Haven't even seen the variety pack it's in. I know you love that one, and I've been seeking it out for months with no luck. If I run across it at some point, I will most definitely grab it. Cheers, Billy!
Sounds like their old Torpedo beer which I used to love. Do you still do beer chats with Chad the Rhino? I was watching some old videos from back in the day. Great review as always mate.
I love me some Torpedo! This one is a bit different in that it has that new school fruity flair, but the comparison isn't too far off. As for chatting with Chad, he moved many years ago, and my schedule changed, so I don't chat with the Canadian guys as much anymore. Nick (Maxwell Starr) does a weekly live show on Wednesday nights still called BA101, which is something they started years ago. Most of those guys still chat on that night. Thanks, Dave! Cheers!
