Commercial Description:
Bottled (pasteurised).
NOTE: Only ratings for the bottled version here. The cask version has a separate entry.
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.

Nose is cookie dough,eggy and yeasty, hint of apples too, amber, pours a good sized white head. Flavour is fruit, malt, biscuity, bread. Light bodied, creamy and refreshing. Good. thanks for sharing R via midlife crisis.

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.
