Red Nectar’s sensuous aroma races out of the bottle as soon as it’s uncapped, quickly finding sanctuary in the nostrils and throat. The creamy caramel, floral hops, and a soft apricot bouquet is as lovely as the deep copper liquid. In the swallow, caramel malts eagerly greet the tongue, towing just a hint of tobacco, fruity touches, and mildly bitter hop notes. With a medium body, low alcohol presence and dry finish, the beer doesn’t sink into the palate, but that doesn’t detract from the brew’s complexity and balance.
