#60 Atlas Range Orkney Nimbus Blonde 5% SCOTLAND

Review of the Nimbus Blonde by Atlas Range Orkney Islands 5%
SKD Rating 6.5-10

NOTE: Only ratings for the bottled version here.
Nimbus Strong Pale Ale (5.0% abv) resembles the famous Kölsch beers of Cologne: pale in colour, soft in mouthfeel, but strong in alcoholic content. Our rendition has a rich, warming hop and a memorable malt character.
A small addition of around 5% malted wheat to the grist gives this beer much of its body and softness.
The aroma is of pronounced fresh-fruit hops, together with a sweet nuttiness. On the palate this beer has a verdant, almost vegetal, hop presence. Nimbus also exhibits lovely malt character of fresh bread and almonds.
This beer has understated power: delicate, complex and more-ish despite its relative alcoholic strength..

Yeah I'd give this 13/20 its a good beer but not fantastic - its probably the best one out of the Atlas range. I prefer Rob Hill's Orkney beers - Orkney IPA, Scapa Special etc. - try reviewing 'em. I'm going to be doing a crappy beer review soon (Special Brew) - viking might do one - why do u do a sh*t brew too!

@StravaleBeer I will do Special Brew & Tennents Super in the summer...

@sofakingdrunk66 Tennent's Super is still better than normal Tennent's anyway. Pish from a tap.

[sofakingdrunk66]
