Tröegs Nugget Nectar Ale

Brewed by Tröegs Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania USA

bottle and tap. one of myfirst IPA I’ve ever had that started my love for IPAs. Pours a golden color was a nice white head. The smell is of flowery hops and oranges. The taste is of citrus and hops not nearly as strong as the stuff I like to drink now it is very nicly balanced the first time I had this I was overwelmed with the bitterness but now when I drink it it’s very balanced and flavorful

Sixer w/ the bro. I would say this lives up to the noise I’ve been hearing. Assertive but crisp, balanced but flavorful. Just a great beer.

Hmm, I’m slightly apprehensive about this one. This is in the Top 100 on BeerAdvocate and also highly rated on RateBeer. However this also includes a HUGE hop hand grenade that appears to me to be a warning that this will take off a limb or otherwise damage me. I am not a hophead. Let me repeat this confession for all to hear: I AM NOT A HOPHEAD. The last beer I tried that featured a large hop on the label was like being taken to an Entmoot and having Treebeard & his woody chums encircle me and piss in my mouth. The last thing I wanted was another piney golden shower. Pours a very appealing amber and has a more subdued aroma than I thought it would. A good sign! There is a piney taste but not one that conjures images of evergreen fellatio. Well balanced. The lacing remains forever, like it’s etched into the glass. Oh, my beer is gone. I really wish I had picked up a six pack. I’m surprised at the 7.5% on this, I could drink this all night. This is a February seasonal release and one I will be certain to pick up in the future. If you don’t like hop overload beers, give this one a try if you can find it.

12 oz bottle from Chuck’s in Bowling Green. A great balanced malty sweetness against intense hop bitters, but it all melds together into a very mellow mouth feel, followed by a full on pucker. This after the bottles have been carefully cold-aging since winter! There’s a pleasant mild yeast aroma, reminiscent of a good white wine. Very thin but lingering white head. Rich amber body. Slight carbonation. An excellent IPA.

pours a clear orange with a small offwhite head. nice floral hop aroma. caramel. some malty sweetness. grapefruit. a little booze as it warms. pretty good.

Has a clear copper pour with some amber and gold, produced an off-white 2 finger head along with some white bubbles, head is fluffy looking, no sediment in the bottle, lots of creamy lacing on the sides of the glass, aroma of fruity, floral and citrus hops, some faint grass and herbs to, toasted malt, some caramel and malt sweetness on the nose, flavor of lemon and grapefruit citrus, toasted malt, finish has a decent hop bitterness, drink starts out with some sweetness and is easily balanced by the hops at the finish and comes up dry on the palate, mouth feel appears light for a IPA but this is not bad, the lightness in mouth feel makes it easy be gulped, a great IPA, I recommend trying this ale.

All I can say is this is one of the best beers I’ve ever had. I bought it on a roadtrip and wish I could get it where I live. Appearance - Orangish amber with a fluffy white head and fantastic lacing on the glass I poured it in to. Aroma - You can smell the hops and the fruity citrus. Flavor - Very floral with just the right touch of hops. Peachy grapefruity flavors that aren’t overpowering. Palate - Medium carbination with just a hint of bitterness sliding down the back. Overall Impression - Exceptionally drinkable, not overly hopped. I’d have a keg of this on tap if I could get it. Serving type: 22oz. bottle

orange with white head. moderate to high carbonation for the style. great piney hop nose. a lot of initial hop bitterness before a great piney, citrusy, and spicy hop flavor which proceeds some a balancing malt backbone with some alcoholic warmth that perfectly provides depth. great IPA, top of the line
