Brewer: Humboldt Brewing (California, USA)
Beer: Nectar Ales Red Nectar
Style: Amber Ale
abv: 5.16%

Bottle from the store.

Pours copper with a small white head. Floral and citrusy hop aroma with a good deal of sweet, caramel- and toffee-ish malt. Very well-balanced, but the hops don't have the mellow character of their IPA Nectar; in this one they appear in harsher form. As it warms, a lot of the malt flavor comes through. Good.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5
