Tröegs Nugget Nectar
A 2010 bottle that I purchased last Fall into a snifter on 6/11/11. A: Pours a beautiful clear and glowing orange hued amber under an appealing sudsy head. S: A sugary hop blend of tropical fruit fills the nose. Pine seems to be the the biggest note when I swirl the brew around a bit. In no particular order, I also pick up on earthy fruit hop notes of orange rind, mango, and lemon. M: That's a smooth "93ish" I.B.U.'s all the way through! A very smooth, lightly crisp, and somewhat creamy malt feel gently guides this down my palate and prominently displays the art of hops without subjecting one to the pangs of alcohol heaviness. T: Nugget, Warrior, and Tomahawk hops make beautiful music together here with a solid toasted caramel malt sweetness to complement.
