Just a quick note that Troegs’s current seasonal beer, the Nugget Nectar is now available at Martin Wine Cellar and Stein’s Deli. With a current A grade average among the 530 people that have reviewed it on BeerAdvocate, this is surely a beer you’ll want to check out.
It’s a pretty interesting concoction .. it’s got tons of hops and could be considered an Imperial IPA, but at the same time is sweet and malty enough to be an Amber. That’s pretty much how it goes down too; it tastes sweet, then bitter, then sweet again.Get it while it’s available. There are only 15 cases available in the entire city between these two stores.

Wow, this was very good. It tasted bitter without actually *being* bitter. You could taste citrus (pineapple? mango?) along with all the hops. It’s definitely a good beer, and worthy of all the praise. But as a beer amateur, I could probably find a cheaper beer that would, to me, be pretty close. So while I won’t stock up on six packs or book a plane ticket to PA, I am definitely glad I picked up two bottles and tried it. And I would suggest that, at the very least, you grab a bottle or two as well.
