Tröegs Nugget Nectar
Been looking forward to trying this beer for a while. I've heard countless good things about it, so I junmped at the chance to get it when I saw it at my liquor store. Poured from a 1 pint, 6 oz bottle into a glass in two parts. Beer was an amber to golden color with no haze and no head. Aroma was piney upfront, but there were caramel and vanilla notes to balance the scent. Taste follows what you would expect from the aroma. Pine and citrus notes hit upfront from the hops. This is balanced nicely with the caramel and vanilla notes, with give a nice sweetness. The finish is nice and clean considering how strong the pine flavor of the hops is upfront. The mouthfeel is medium with a nice bite from the sharp carbonation. Drinkability is good as the beer has good flavor and a clean finish. The higher than average ABV could be a problem for having more than a couple though. Overall, a tasty amber ale. Enjoyable and definitely worth the effort.
