Nugget Nectar = SN Celebration?

I didn't find them similar beyond both being hoppy beers. I prefer the NN, I think it has more to offer, a more complex brew. Interesting comp though. Might make a good side-by-side tasting.

 

I'd take NN any day over Celebration.

Cheers!

 

While I like Celebration a lot, I don't see it as comparable to Nugget Nectar. I do prefer Nugget Nectar over Celebration.

 

Damn, two beers that I really look forward to during their respective times of the year. If I HAD to choose which one I think is a better beer, I guess I would go with Nugget Nectar. Still, they are both awesome brews. I could see comparing them but I think Nugget Nectar's hop flavors are much different from Celebration's.

 

NN is significantly better than Celebration in my opinion.

 

I enjoy Celebration when it comes out, but I do not look forward to it the way I do Nugget Nectar. This was a pretty simple decision for me.

 

Other than the fact that they're both beer, and they're both fairly hoppy, I don't find them to be all that similar.

 

I'll let you know tomorrow, thanks to a certain BA Kurt.

 

I definitely don't find them to be particularly similar beyond their obvious shared hoppiness.

For what it's worth, both brewery's websites list the ingredients and there doesn't seem to be any overlap (though I'm not sure I'd want to claim that two beers with different ingredients couldn't taste very similar).

I like Celebration but Nugget Nectar is FAR better. I also find the two to be very different beers.

 

I prefer Celebration. Fuller body and comes across hoppier to my palate. Just drank one. I do get a lot of orange-y flavor in both beers.

Across the board I prefer Sierra Nevada IPAs/hoppy beers to Troegs.

I heard Perpetual IPA was going to become year round? That should make some Nugget Nectar fans happy.

 

Not too sure!
If youre willing to send me some NN, id be happy to answer this!
Currently have some Celebration in my fridge. On a biased note, id pick Celebration.

 

Yeah I do not think Celebration is like NN at all and NN is way better in my opinion.

 

I'm more of a Nectar fan too. I look forward to both releases though.

 

Put me in the "NN>Celebration and also not very similar" group.

 

very different flavor profiles.
love them both.

 

In the past I'd say this was crazy talk. But what I've had of Nugget Nectar 2012 so far does actually taste a bit like Celebration. Far more so than in the past. The 2012 edition seems more bitter, not as smooth, a little off.
