Tröegs Nugget Nectar Ale

Thanks to Daknole for the bottle. Pours a hazy amber orange with a one inch white fluffy head. Great retention and lacing. Aromas of pine and resin with a light malt touch, bread. Flavors upfront of malts, with a nice hop finish, but bitterness is minimal.

12oz bottle. Poured a murky burnt orange with a one finger head. Smell is strong floral and hoppiness with slight sweet hint. Taste hits with complex hop flavor with citrus that mellows to a nice malty sweetness. Mouthfeel is very easy. A very good hop beer

Since delving into the microbrew realm, this is my favorite sofar. Beautiful amber color with hoppy aroma. Great flavor and crisp finish. Awesome!

Bottle from trade with Butters. Poured amber with a creamy off-white head that left light lace. Nice caramel and hop citrus aroma. The flavor found orange peel and a malt balance. Medium body, crisp, medium bitterness. Very nice!

Bottle props to Butters for the hook up. The pour is very cloudy with a huge, evenly formed white head. The aroma is about what I am talking. Loads of very dank, stanky herbal hops are right up in my nose. A dash of citrus is thrown in and maybe some biscuity scents, maybe. As American as the aroma is on this, the flavor is more English leaning. I get a little less of that herbal bitterness and more wood, more cheese, more cereal. The malts are right in check, actually they provide a little more character than the average hugely hoppy American beer. I am really enjoying this stuff. The hops are all over the place and leave my palate pretty dry.

Bottle of Nugget Nectar Imperial Amber thanks to bu11zeye. Pours a deep amber orange with a smallish, frothy off-white head. Lots of hops, plums and caramel. Taste is fruity and finishes nice and sweet with caramel and a bit of cereal and a dash of chocolate malts. Syrupy with a slight bit of biting carbonation. Good beer.

In short: A dry and crisp IPA
How: Bottle 12oz from CharlesDarwin, thanks a lot tom. Drank fresh two few weeks after receiving it.
The look: Partially cloudy dark orange body topped by a small off-white head
In long: Aroma is soapy, a little stinky (sweat), fresh orange and a little pine-cone juice. Body is light, this beer is rather low on the malt side. Very toasted bread with some dry caramel and honey with a hard-candy feeling. A little sugary. Hop taste is not very juicy, more like dried oranges with some foresty notes. Despite the fruity flavours the beer has an assertive dry bitterness. I don’t know what it is but something in the beer really dries it out and that’s one of its best feature. I could feel a little alcohol bite (!?) despite the relatively low abv. Overall the beer is quite tasty. Good beer, I sure couldn’t make a better nugget nectar myself, cause my nuggets… well… you don’t want my nuggets nectar.

Bottle, pours slightly orange, vaguely cloudy, with a small, white head. Aroma is all hops, bright, citrusy, piney. Flavor is pine and citrus hops again up front, followed by a balancing maltiness, and finsihes with a long, acidic tang. Moderately carbonated. Very, very good.
