Let's talk about Nugget Nectar!

btw, the nn was 44.99 plus tax and hopslam 64.99

 

Any idea if they had expedition?

 

dont remember if i saw expidition....call em up!

 

Drinking some now and it's damn tasty.. to bad this isn't a year round beer.

 

Saw it at the local distro the other day; he said he "thinks" it's around $42 before tax. I already had a case of something else under my arm, so I wasn't in a hurry to have him double check. But dangit, I just might have to go back.

 

I was at the troegs brewery today and came out empty handed. No non to be found. Lines for fresh tap beer were way too long. Went to beer store down the street in Hershey and they were out of nn as well. I'm in Harrisburg for rest of the day. Does anyone know where I can find some nn?

 

Wegmans or Al's of Hampden would be my two bets for Harrisburg.

 

Beer mill in west chester (pa) had cases last night. Forget exactly what I payed, but it was mid to upper 40s.

 

Awesome as always. Worth the wait.

 

someone on facebook was arguing that this year's batch is crap. and that he spoke to the owner of troeg's today and he said that the batch was compromised due to the hop harvest? am i insane and don't notice a difference?

 

just had my first one....awesome as always

 

I am having it now, great stuff. Sounds like some FB nonsense from a fool. Trust your tastebuds.

 

It tastes the same to me!....one of the best beers around.

 

You are right, i was reading the batch numbers, not the date... 2/21 is the date of mine too

 

This was the first year (of the last three) that I actually enjoyed the NN. If they screwed it up, then sign me up. The more I've been drinking this beer, the more I'm enjoying it. I'm kind of wishing this was available in the summertime.

 

Sorry, but at least the bottles I have taste different than last year. Less juicy/citrusy and more of a prominent spice note.

 

thank you for speaking up. this is what people have been saying - less citrus, grapefruit, etc.
i think i might be in the 'not different' camp, though, because every other year i had it, i didn't pick up a lot of citrus, grapefruit, etc to begin with. =X it's always come off as a maltier DIPA type beer to me.

 

Less citrusy/juicy for sure if you ask me. Not spicier, but more bready malt.

Just me though, and it's still very good.

 

Yeah, I distinctly remember last year talking/thinking about how juicy and citrusy it was. This year, my expression was almost the complete opposite. Although I will say, I had it on tap and although I thought it tasted a little different, it certainly wasn't as noticeable as the three bottles I've opened so far. Very odd.
