Nectar IPA

Nectar I.P.A. is from our friends in California the home of hippies and " medical Marijuana ". They also have the best governor of any state. He has the sword from Conan in his office. My governor doesn't have one, because he wasn't fucking Conan. This beer is from the Pasa Robles, a noted wine growing region that you used to be a able to get great bargains from until it got " discovered". Anyway, this stuff pours out a clear amber. It has some hop on the nose as well as a strong floral scent and a touch of citrus. There is a lot of bitter hop up front which yields to an intense lingering herb flavor ( not a joke ). You also get a floral tinge which carries into the very bitter finish. After a couple of sips, or giant gulps in my case, the bitterness subsides somewhat. This beer is worth investigating if you like I.P.A. I think the balance is off, but there are interesting flavors here worth a look. And, it's got pot in it.
