Tröegs Nugget Nectar Ale

LOVE this beer! A truly hoppy aroma, one of wet pine needles and a floral bouquet. Flavor lacks a bit of depth, as the hops slightly overpower the malty characteristics. Could be better balanced. All in all, a great beer, just my type.

This one starts out a bit watery, but then develops and presents a nice piney, almost grapefruity flavor that leaves me satisfied and wanting more.. For a 7.5 ABV, it presents in a lower-end way that is entirely drinkable... over and over again.

Enjoyed via 12oz bottle. Pours a deep copper. Nose is wonderful; a tremendous combination of American hops that makes the drinker want to just dump the whole thing on his face. On the palate, this example is obviously hop-forward, but does have an assertive malt presence on the back of the palate. Overall, an excellent example of a classic American style.

A hopheads dream, other Brewers... i demand equally hoppy Imperial Amber Beers. The addition of simcoe hops is very nice and the beer is incredibly refreshing.

Style; glass: India Pale Ale/Imperial Amber; tulip 22 fl oz x 7.5% ABV = 165 / 60 = 2.75 beers * 150 C = 412.5 calories (est.) Purchased at: Canal’s Burlington, NJ for $5.99 A beautiful deep amber body under an off white head. Full of sweetness and bitterness so very nicely balanced. Pine, citrus and rind all meet in a deep and delicious beer.

Bottled@home Thanks to ba Traquairlover for including this as a bonus in our trade! Apperance: Golden copper with huge head and lots of lacing. Aroma: Grapefruit, Apricot, Grass, Caramel, Pine. Flavor: Grapefruit, Apricot, Grass, Toffee, Hops, Caramel. Palate: Massive attack of hops upfront that is nicely balanced out with a healthy dose of sweet malt. Very very balanced! I must thank Tröegs for making this lovely beer and making a mediocre saturday night into a really good one. This is hopjuice at its finest.

Bottle. Came for the hype, stayed for the tasty beer. Pretty white fluffy head begins lacing immediately. Massive pine aroma - you could make a Yankee candle out of this scent. Great mouthfeel, very substantial. Bitterness is immediate but surprisingly pleasant. Fills the mouth. I think the hope are well balanced. I don’t think I realized how much I liked this beer until I sat down to rate it. And now they are all gone. :(

Pours a clear amber color with a lacing white head. Fresh cut hop aroma mixed with some malts. Well balanced body, malty upfront with a thick, hoppy finish. Quite good.
