Hard to describe. It was definitely different. It was still good and I liked it, but would rank it as average of the brews I have done.
Nugget is described as herbal and spicy.
In the pale ales I have done though I have done a lot American Pale ales with a lot of citrus flavor from the hops I use, so I guess that is the difference in comparison.
I did a smash with Va grown nugget. They smelled woodsy or spicy in the bag, but we're very weak for flavor/aroma in the beer.
I'm going to put in a good word here for the floral-type hops. Mt Hood is a good one. Crystal is very subtle an unusually sweet. It can't stand up to Munich malt, but is good with pale or pilsner.
