Breda Atlas (Original)

Can at Deanso’s last THT. Clear golden with white head. Cardboard, sweet grains, light corn and bitter herbs. Not too much alcohol. Medium sweet. Medium bodied. Meh.

50cl can shared at my last THT. Thin white head. Clear golden pour. bland and boring.

Jedna od onih jakih lagera koje ne preferiram previše. Napucaju ju sa alkoholom i misle da su napravili nešto posebno. Bezveze.

Can from Carrefour, Nice. Golden with no head and a very small carbonation. Strongish tasting but palatable, although there’s has no decent character here to get enthusiastic about. It’s lesser than bland.

One of those cheap strong lagers, basically ’pils’ with a lot more alcohol, usually sold in cans and marketed at alcoholics who care less about quality than about strength. Tasted some three years ago, when it was apparently still brewed by AB InBev (who took it from Oranjeboom in Breda) primarily for being sold in France, not sure if this is still the case. Stable, snow-white head and bright colour of ’old gold’. Aroma sweetly grainy (corn, even popcorn), grassy hops and cheap wodka-like, off-putting alcohol. Taste unfortunately is more of the same, very grainy, sticky sweetness even till the finish, where a lot of very badly hidden, astringent alcohol appears.

500ml Can: BBD Sep 14, poured into a ’Fosters’ pint glass at home on 27th Nov 13. The penultimate beer (and 5th) of a Lager/Pilsner tasting session with myself. Looked the usual supermarket Lager/Pilsner golden colour, a little darker than some, but still that clean, clear and bright sparkle they often have. The typical non-staying white head was also an attribute this can had. The smell and taste were not too great to be honest: sweet, malty and ’tinny’, remember those Barley Sugar sweets from your childhood? Well give them a metallic twang and you’ve almost got the flavour of this beer. Not a good beer at all, not even an average beer really, but I obtained it in the South of France because they had was such a poor choice of beers down there it had to be bought or I’d have brought home next to no beers at all. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Atlas Strong Premium Beer on 23 Sep 2022 at 05:22 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7. Original review text: 500ml can: BB August 2023. Drank at home on 22nd September 2022. I actually thought this tramp juice was OK. Bright golden body, clean and clear; on top a decent lasting white affair. Sure it's a bit grainy and on the sweet side but it's not rubbish and their are some hops in there too.
