Tröegs Independent Brewing has released Double Nugget Nectar, a spin on its once-a-year Imperial Amber Ale, Nugget Nectar.
Double Nugget, a Double Imperial Amber Ale, weighs in at 9.5% ABV.
Built around Simcoe hops, one of Nugget Nectar’s key ingredients, Double Nugget has notes of apricot, peach and citrus, the company says. Azacca hops add hints of juicy orchard fruit, while Columbus and Nugget introduce a layer of dank pine.
To balance the assertive hop bill, the beer’s recipe calls for Munich, Pilsner and Vienna malts, as well as flaked oats to lend a bready sweetness while contributing a deep amber-orange color.
Double Nugget Nectar is limited and available now in 16-oz. cans at Tröegs Brewery and throughout its distribution footprint.
Fans can also get a taste of Double Nugget Nectar on draft at one of many First Squeeze events currently underway in markets where Tröegs beer is available. They can also celebrate all things Nugget at the source during the inaugural First Squeeze Weekend, taking place at Tröegs from Thursday, January 26 through Sunday, January 29. Specials include Nugget Nectar pours in take-home glassware, Double Nugget Nectar and Nitro Nugget on tap, exclusive firkin tappings, Snack Bar menu specials and more.
