3 years ago I have bought a pound of Nugget pellets… Ahh the old days.
I really liked this hop for bittering and thought it was a fairly pleasant bitterness, not too harsh. Really sort of sat in the background for the malt forward brewing that I do.

Some people have complained about its flavor and aroma characteristics, but I did a few ales where I used it later in the boil. I found it to be mildly floral and lightly resin-like. It became a good hop to use in parallel to other hop varieties to help carry the flavors of more interesting hops.

Lastly, Treogs Brewery (in PA??), has a beer called Nugget Nectar that is fantastic. While its not all nugget hops, it is a great beer that shows the versatility of the Nugget hop for supporting other hops.

If I can ever get these in bulk again I certainly will.
