Existing in a hoppy netherworld somewhere between American Amber and resiny West Coast Double IPA's, 'Nugget Nectar' is an intoxicating and uniquely American beast. Despite its loud aroma and hulking flavors, it's not overly complex and actually makes for a surprisingly sessionable beer - albeit a 7.5% abv. one - so easy does it, because pints of this evaporate. Possessing just about all the elements that give the best golden American IPA's their pizzazz and the highly palatable soft malty foundation of an English Mild, it comes as little surprise that this knockout brew has become quite the cult late winter release for hopheads in the know.
