    How well does Nugget Nectar age? I've only had it fresh in past years, and I'm just curious as to how well it ages (both short term and long term).

    It ages very poorly. It should be consumed as fresh as possible. This isn't a beer with a complex malt backbone that could potentially withstand a bit of time. Not even worth it for experimental purposes, IMO.

    Yes definitely don't do it. It is wonderfully sublime fresh. I discovered a stray sixer I had misplaced last year about 5 months after release and it was awful at that point.

    I can tell you from personal experience, that once NN hits the 8 or so month mark, it is nearly undrinkable IMO.
