With this latest Scratch Beer, we’re allowing the Simcoe hop to bask in the spotlight. This hefty, hopped-up Amber Ale boasts notes of intense pine as well as juicy mango and apricot with a slight earthy, woodsy fragrance.

#246 Scratch Beer-Amber Ale 8.8% ABV (listed on board above taproom bar); on tap at the Tröegs brewery, it pours clear amber color with an excellent beige colored head that faded slowly and left great lacing. Very similar to Nugget Nectar in every way, a really great beer with the nose and flavor bursting with floral and citrus hops that had just enough malt backbone to cut to bitterness and make it very sessionable. Had a full pour inn a Tröegs chalice and did not detect the ABV at all, it was masterfully hidden by the delicious hop presence.
