    really? I literally don't care about whether it's 2 or 6 weeks old; if the recipe is dialed in, Nugget Nectar is great regardless. you've got me wet :rolling_eyes:

    Fully agree........even the wet part. I should receive my phone call any day now that my keg is ready, here is hoping it's dated end of December.

    Had a couple of drafts at the brewery last night. Really good. Waiting for the "last year's version was better" crowd to chime in. They'd be wrong.

    I'll probably grab some cans next week. I haven't been to the brewery in a month or two, so I think I'll go there to get some.

    I got so excited it was that time of year, and picked up a sixer at my local shop, and I was last years batch. That just ruined my week. Complained to the owner and she said that it ages well and there would be no refunds. I typically visit this shop for its vintage brews, I forgot the rule of not buying hoppy beers from them.
    Can't wait for this years batch though.

    can't wait for this! hard as hell to get fresh hoppy beers in NJ unless you go to directly to a brewery, so this arrival every year satiates my fresh hop desires nicely.

    Picked up my sixtel today, kegged 12/30 so a week older than @Kadonny but i'll gladly take it. Can't wait to put it on tonight.

    Enjoy it, I've only had one glass so far, but preliminary indications are good :wink:

    My distributor had both 12/30 and 1/6 dated kegs in stock, he grabbed me the 1/6 date since he knows I'm a freshness geek. Gotta love having someone looking out for you!

    Was at the brewery yesterday afternoon. 3 pints with lunch, and then a case to go (Bottled 01/12/15) . Excellent brew, I'm a very happy man.

    My sixtel has the same kegged date. I tapped it a couple nights ago. It's delicious, no doubt. Hoppy with that citrusy sweet flavor to balance.

    Case today. Bottled 12/29/14. Chilling in fridge as we speak.

    Perfect timing for me as I my preferred window for having NN from the bottle is between 2 weeks and 6 weeks after bottling.

    Had it earlier this week on tap, and it was good, but not great. However, picked up a six pack of bottles (bottled 01/02/2015) two days later, and I think it tasted much better.

    I've had a few of the 12/29/14 bottles, all have been great and no issues. Like you, I think NN with a little age on it tastes better.
