Hop Nectar 2 is part of an adventure brew series with rotating experimental hops. In the second phase of the series, we combined Chinook, Columbus, Simcoe and Centennial hops yielding vibrant notes of citrus and pine. The piney and earthy aromas of this west coast style IPA are perfect for those fresh, bright days of summer. Whether you're traveling to the coast of hiking inland, this brew is sure to pair well with any summertime adventure. Be on the lookout for the next hoppy adventure in this series.

Picked up a can of this with a bunch of other stuff on a recent trip to Windmill Farms. Didn’t care for the first version of Hop Nectar, giving the Session IPA a 3.69 on April 30, 2020, but I’m a big fan of Latitude 33’s beer.

Poured a medium-to-dark amber semi-clear color with three fingers of off-white frothy-to-rocky head. Plenty of bubble streams coming up along the sides of the glass. World-class spiderweb foamy lacing. Excellent retention. (Sight - 4.50)
Smelled earthy malt, pine, wood, peppery spice, Chinook, Columbus, citrus rind, lime, herbal, Simcoe late, garlic and onion. A tad better out of the can with a little more citrus notes rather than earthy notes. (Smell - 3.75)
Tasted at least as good as the nose, maybe better. In order got woody pine, earthy malt, peppery spice, bitter aspirin, herbal, garlic, onion, lime, citrus rind and hints of cat piss. In terms of mentioned hops, Chinook led the way, followed by Simcoe, Columbus and lesser dry Centennial. (Taste - 4.00)
Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Long, dry, spicy finish. (Feel - 4.25)
Pretty much a West Coast Style IPA to the ‘T.’ Outstanding. (Overall - 4.00)
