    I was expecting it to be hop-forward given the way it is marketed. I got that with Celebration this year, but not with Nugget Nectar. Given a choice between this and Bell's Amber, I would take the Bell's.

    Hmmmm.... hard to read the date on the bottom, but it appears to say freshest by either 5/09/18 or 5/19/18.

    Had another can last night after dinner. Still as good as ever to my palate.

    Our memories are all going to be a bit fuzzy this far away in time from the event. :sunglasses:

    Lol ok. I understand the Pats and Eagles are playing in the SB and you may be somewhat bitter about PA right now, but this has to be one of the funniest things I've read on BA ever!

    I hope you're just trying to troll.

    Your right, given the timing I assumed the same batch but perhaps not. To be honest with seasonal beers early in the season, I generally don't look at dates and such. Never felt a need to do that. I've never ever had a SN that was anything but excellent. Could be they stored it near heat, but really who knows, but it scared me out of buying a 3D.

    As someone who hasn't bought packaged NN this year, I'm just here for the arguments.

    Oh, and to confirm that 312 was a let down. I'm here for that, too.

    I’ll chime in with my 2 cents.

    Drinking my 1st can of the season, 5/10 best by & IMO it’s as good as ever. Nice & hoppy but with the strong malt backbone I expect from this beer. Good stuff.

    Just had the last bottle from my 6-pack. Best before 5/8/18. Malt is slightly heavier than I remember but it's as good as ever. So smooth and easy to sip for 93 IBU.

    Got to have a bunch of NN last night at a party from a keg BB 27 April 2018.

    Very smooth and had a nice sweet Carmel taste to it initially but dropped way off after that to a pretty pedestrian beer. Finished quite dry. I drank 4-5 as it was the only option. Not much aroma and taste wise it just was not there. I have to say it was slightly bland.

    Was it bad, I think not. Was it great, No. Will I buy this beer,No.

    Enjoy

    Cracked my last NN with a "Freshest By" 5/15/18...this beer fell off a cliff - completely gone. I can't imagine what that thing will taste like in 2 months. Sad to see Peak Organic also switch to this freshest by/enjoy by dating crap, what a joke
