Serving Type: DraftABV: 7.5 percent
Appearance: Nugget Nectar is quite an attractive beer. It reminds me of some of the great pumpkin ales I was fortunate enough to try this past fall. It has a very dark amber tone, but it has such great clarity that you can still see right through it. The head is very white and fizzy. The carbonation is very potent.
Smell: I haven't come across a scent like Nugget Nectar's before. I expected plenty of strong hops, but instead received a helping of floral honey. Such a sweet and pleasant aroma.
Taste: At first this beer is bitter due to the hops overload, but a tad of citrus flavor balances it out before you get a case of bad beer face. It has a very crisp taste. It's also one of those beers that gives you more flavor as it gets closer to room temperature.
Overall Rating:
This beer came with a lot of hype. It was the same way with Bell's Hopslam, but I have rarely been disappointed with anything by Troegs in the past. This beer was an adventure since I'm not the biggest of hop heads, but I can see why some enjoy it so much.
