This is my first attempt at a new idea I've had recently. I've given some thought to writing a few look-ahead posts once in a while concerning seasonal craft brews that I'm either in love with or haven't tried yet, but have heard some great things.
Tomorrow is the first day of February. For the craft beer folk in Pennsylvania this means one thing: the release of Troegs Nugget Nectar, according to the brewery's website. When Bell's Hopslam Ale hit the market a few weeks ago, it seemed to me that two of the hoppiest beers some look forward two are these two.
I was fortunate to be able to try Hopslam and am now looking forward to sampling Nugget Nectar. The beer sounds delightful, per the beer's description on the site:
"Squeeze those hops for all they're worth and prepare to pucker up: Nugget Nectar Ale, will take hopheads to nirvana with a heady collection of Nugget, Warrior and Tomahawk hops. Starting with the same base ingredients of our flagship Hopback Amber Ale, Nugget Nectar intensifies the malt and hop flavors to create an explosive hop experience."
I was also able to try the intermediately-hopped Hopback Amber Ale a while back and really enjoyed that. If that's a hint as to what Nugget Nectar will be like then I can't wait to get some of it on my taste buds.
