Commercial Description:
Squeeze those hops for all they’re worth and prepare to pucker up: Tröegs’ newest single batch brew, 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.

Nice clear amber pour with white head. Again, I have to say I like Troegs and I have had other IPAs and enjoyed but no way did I like this. Horrible, like I got a snoot full of citric acid and a mouth full of pine needles and pine cone soap. Those who are hopheads will be chocking themselves to get a drop of this and I say have at it. Just keep it the hell away from me!

This is like a hopslam on valium. Thanks to my secret bunny for this. Clear amber with 2 finger white head and some nice lacing. Citrus hop aroma. Slightly malty with piney hops. Wonderful peach like finish.

thin film of a head laces on the side. Aroma to match the hop blend a little mild with fructose nose. Nice bite and a rather smooth finish for the amount of hops. Good bit a bit one dimentional,there are better super hop beers out there.

I can drink this beer all day long. This is truely an all day drinker for me. I say the same about the Hopslam, but this one won’t have you hammered after four of them. Aroma and taste is sweet pine and tangy hops. The pour is amber with a nice white head. This is my favorite Troegs beer so far. Bring on a case!!!

a beautiful aroma, an amazing test, this is the best of the Troegs beers, pour it into a glass and it’ll shimmer in the light

Nice amber color with quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is big and piney. Pretty thin body with strong piney, hop presence, and a metallic finish. No malt to speak of, pretty one dimensional.

12 oz bottle thanks to Johnykat. This poured a clear amber with a thin off-white head. Good lacing. Smell was very appealingly sweet with citrus, pine and caramel malt. This was very tasty with a good balance of citrus hops and malt. Mouthfeel was medium with carbonation and a good bitterness at the finish. Very good IPA. Glad I got more than one in the trade.
