I just did a MO Nugget Pale Ale and all my friends love it. A buddy of mine whom I hadn't seen in a while handed me over two ounces of his home grown Nugget. I've done IPAs and super hopped-up APAs quite frequently, so I decided to brew something to drink while deciding on the next beer. This recipe knocked my socks off! Slightly malty, slightly nutty/grainy, golden, balanced and super smooth. The Nugget come across as slightly spicy and a tad floral, but subtle in a way that makes you want to reach for another to figure it out. Here's my recipe:
