I kegged this Monday and took a sneak Tuesday. I know, I know, I just couldnt wait to taste. It was good but bitter. I have never had Nugget Nectar, but I can see where this will be good in awhile. The aroma was great.

Thanks for the update, I just ordered most of the ingrediants. I now hope to brew this in mid Dec.

You are in Lancaster but never tried NN? Great stuff, seek out a bottle in the spring.

No I have never had it. While I am not new to brewing, I just got into making and drinking hoppier beers. Wish I had tried some of this stuff earlier in my drinking career! I will be heading to visit the new brewery next month.
