Once a year, as the new hop harvest arrives at Tröegs, we blend super-fresh Nugget, Palisade and Simcoe hops into an iconic Imperial Amber Ale known as Nugget Nectar.
It’s no surprise that Nugget hops take center stage, adding dank notes of pine and grapefruit. Simcoe chimes in with hints of ripe mango and creamsicle, and it’s all balanced with enough kilned malt to add body and a touch of sweetness.
With its beautiful orange color, big hop flavor and 7.5% ABV, Nugget Nectar provides plenty of warmth on those dark, cold winter nights.
To celebrate the release of Nugget Nectar, we’ve revived our popular First Squeeze events. Fans can enjoy fresh Nugget Nectar on draft, snag free limited glassware, and take home illustrated art prints from hand-picked artists. A handful of events will also feature Nitro Nugget on tap and limited-release draft pours of Double Nugget Nectar.
Look for creative takes on our iconic Nugget Nectar label art from these artists:
Allen and Tony Jackson, Reading, PA-based design duo and creators of amazing rock posters and album art
Rachel Breeden, Philadelphia-based artist, designer, and illustrator
Melanie Royster, the artist behind the label art for Blackberry Bliss, our Barrel & Flow Fest collaboration beer
David Leutert, the German artist who designed the label for Tröegs Oktoberfest lager
Alex Zutto, whose colorful illustrations are born in Brooklyn, NY
