Aug 6, 2009 Clean ale aroma with a beautiful clear copper color. The flavor has an elastic quality to its hops which starts and ends with the same intensity. The hops aren’t too bitter, just right.

Aug 3, 2009 The head on this beer is thick and fluffy. Ruby red with a brown tinge. Glassy but with a haze on the glass. Quite a nice body. The smell is an awesome combo of dark caramel and bitter, woddy hops. The hops evolve into citrus. Really outstanding. The dark roasted caramel gives a needed balance. The flavor is a toasted, roasted caramel malt but with more bitterness at the latter stages. It’s bold on both fronts, the hops and malt. These two strong flavors need each other to keep the seesaw a-movin’. The feel is thick and chewy, creamy and viscous. Really good. It’s a bold and challenging drink. Smooth, dark and bitter. Quite nice.

Jul 25, 2009 Very filtered looking. Dark orange, some head. Pure hops nose. Smell like hops but I guess on the piney side of citrus. Decent mouthfeel, silky, somewhat try, decent balance between the malt and hops. Not sure about the high average rating. This is a decent honest beer but not a lot special going on here.

Jul 22, 2009 12 oz draft served in a clear pint glass. Nose is citrus, caramel, and florally hops. Taste is very much the same. I was pleasantly surprised by this brew. Enough malt to balance the hop, and a good bit borrowed from some of the best IPAs. A very tasty step towards developing a taste for hops.

Jul 20, 2009 Tap. For the base of nugget nectar this is what you would expect. A good pick if your looking to drink a bunch on a warm sunny day.

Jul 19, 2009 From 12 oz bottle. Taste of malt and hops. Taste of caramel. The bottle indicates that there is spice in here, if so it was not very prevalent. A pretty good beer, but in my opinion it is a bit overrated.

Jul 17, 2009 From bottle, pours with great clarity and warm amber color. Comes with a range of malt and hop flavors, medium-lean body (profile reminds me of a light Red Rocket) and steady finish.
