Humboldt Brewing Company Nectar IPA

Humboldt Brewing Company Nectar IPA is an American IPA, 6.7% ABV.

This pours with golden caramel color and a nice fluffy off white head. The aroma is a bit uninspiring, some mild caramel malt and a hint of pine, not much else. The taste starts malt forward and sweet with a red/amber ale like caramel/toffee malt flavor and a simple sugary sweetness. The bitterness of the hops follows behind along with a bright tingle of carbonation. The hop profile is earthy and dry on the finish and aftertaste.

I’m not going out of my way for bottles of this, but I certainly wouldn’t turn it down either.
