Nimbus
Posted by mobile phone:
Just stopped into the Guildford for a quick pint before another choir rehearsal, and found something of a mini beer festival in full swing! Beers from Atlas and Sinclair (Orkney Brewery) on tap – sounds dangerous for just the one swift half!
However, I soldiered on undounted and ordered a pint of the Atlas Nimbus. A very welcome refreshment after a day of work, this strong pale ale had a pleasant smooth yet bitter taste and a stranglely warming finish. Maybe the weather outside, rain as expected for the Festival – made me experience the warmth more than I would normally, but it was good nonetheless!
It’s very pale colour, almost like the colour of wee, disguised a depth of flavour which included a gentle mix of malt and hops with slight citrus peel on the finish. Very, very tasty and rewarding!
