So easy to drink-this one really impressed me.

This was bought at my local Morrison, and is labelled as Nimbus Blonde...and it’s great!!! Looks good,lots of fresh malt and fruit on the nose and a slightly sweet maltiness on the palate. A delicious beer, quite complex in character,perhaps an acquired taste, but worth acquiring!

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
50cl bottle, with label as pictured - but the bottle itself is now dark brown.
Pours a clear yellow golden with big, frothy, creamy white head with splendid retention and generous lacing. Rather pretty, in fact.
Fairly strong aroma of malt, floral notes, citrus and hops. Very moderate carbonation, smooth, full mouth feel. Medium-bodied blonde.
Flavour is stronger than that of most blonde ales - malt is again noticeable, but it’s the hops that dominate with their citrusy notes. Sweetness and bitterness are nicely balanced, and the medium bitter, dry hoppy finish makes for a most refreshing brew.Hoppy taste lingers on long after you’ve downed the beer.
A most pleasant non-continental blonde, superior to many German or Czech lagers and exports that I’ve drunk over the years. Its full, smooth taste reminds me of Samuel Adams Lager. Despite the rather high price tag (€3.5 for a 50cl bottle) I will order this one again!
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Golden beer with a strong slick like head. The aroma is gently hopped and toffee, and the flavour is hopped and toffee. Overall a very nice malty and hopped beer.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle at ChrisO’s pre-GBBF tasting, 1st Aug 09. Hazy orange with a white head. Fluffy with a great light weight - supremely drinkable. Light malt flavour and a good finish. Another good beer from Atlas.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Golden colour with latge white head. Hoppy aroma with malt background. Hoppy, malty and fruity taste. Nicely balanced, medium bodied, with the feel of a strong session beer. Nice.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
50cl bottle from Dobbies Garden Centre. Gold with a thick off-white head; rich, fruity, malty aroma with apricot and bitter cherry; buttery, sweet flavour, thick and chewy with some fruit and some almond bitterness; alcohol is more obvious in the finish than I’d expect at 5% ABV, detracting from the nutty dryness. An interesting beer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Clear golden colour, medium white head. Aroma is hoppy, fruity and creamy. Flavour has grapefruit and citrus, along with a smooth buttery creaminess. A very Belgian styled blonde ale. Nice one!
