Feb 27, 2008 12oz bottle from JW77. Beautiful, bright, expressive hops on the nose. Pine, citrus zest, orange and mango. Hopalicious for sure. Pours clear dark copper with a thin white head. Lots of rich, piney hops on the tongue as well. Caramel and toffee malt to balance. Medium bodied with a great burst of wet hops on the finish. Wonderful IPA for sure! Glad I got more on the way from Immy!

Feb 26, 2008 Bottle from The_Epeeist on 2/22/08. Pours with nice head. Amber color. Lots of melanoidins and big hoppy aroma when I pop the cap. Yada yada yada. Wow, I really like this beer. I feel like I haven’t enjoy many of the beers I popped at home lately. I pour many of them out (shudder. I hate to admit it, but they aren’t worth the calories). Then humbly comes along nugget nectar. Mmmm, mmmm, delicious. Super drinkable. I want a 6 pack. Reminiscent of double bastard, but more drinkable. Very, very good beer. Very sessionable.

Feb 25, 2008 From bottle : Pours a very appealing clear dark copper color, with a finger of foamy white head, that sticks. Nose of big piney hops, very nicely balanced with background malts, for a wonderful smelling beer. Taste is on the sweet side, but very nicely balanced again between the malts and hops. A very heavy mouthfeel, with a little bitter bite toward the end. Nice smooth palate and end with a pleasing soft hop aftertaste. Very good.

Feb 24, 2008 12oz bottle. Filtered orange amber color. Nice hoppy amber aroma. Sweet and drinkable. A solid hop profile comes through, but doesn’t completely dominate due to the amber malt taste. The hoppy Imperial Amber is a very cool addition to the beer world.

Feb 24, 2008 The color was orange/yellow. The head was thin, creamy, and white. The aroma was apricot, citris, and hops. The flavor was sweet, caramel malt, hops, and citris. The palate was medium bodied and smooth. The finish was hoppy.

Feb 24, 2008 Thanks bmartin. Pours a reddish amber with a one finger creamy orange head. The nose is very fresh and hoppy, wet hops, fruity, citrusy, sweet mango and orange. The flavor was nice, a little bitter. The flavor was a bit of a letdown. The mouthfeel was a bit thin and watery. Not as much of a body as I would have liked. The nose is much more intense as well. I still really enjoyed this.

Feb 22, 2008 Pours a straight copper color with a slight white head, which dissipated slowly. Strong piney aroma and flavor with almost a peach/fruit after taste. Very good IPA definitely see why it’s so popular, it’s really a different spin on an IPA and they’ve done this in a subtle way.
