Hump Day Happiness 8: Nugget Nectar

Tröegs is one of my favorite breweries. Their Troegenator Doublebock is in my top 5 of best beers ever.  It came no surprise to me when I poured this Nugget Nectar that a shift in my standings was due.

The Nugget Nectar is listed as a red ale so don’t let the intense hops aroma fool you. Before that may scare you away the aroma isn’t overpowering. It poured a good head that was slightly fluffy. Unfortunately it was gone very fast. Nectar has a medium amber color to it instead of a darker red (the picture doesn’t do the hue justice). The body? Ohhhhhhh sweet jesus was it sinful. I’m going as far as to say that I would take this over my beloved Dogfish Head 90 minute.  The finish was smooth and didn’t hang around for awhile.

Buy it now.  Seriously. Stop what you’re doing and buy a 6pack.

      Nugget Nectar is one of my all-time favorites. I blew my beer budget last weekend on the Ten Fidy (totally worth it, by the way); this one will be my target on my next trip to 3 Sons.

      I really wanted to go into more detail about it but goddamn I can’t shake this cold and can’t think straight.

      don’t let sickpuppy fool you. he also loves the Ol’ Red from Erie Brewing. That might be because it’s 10.2% ABV :)
