Our flagship brew, and a year round offering in kegs and cans, Nanticoke Nectar starts with citrus notes that progress into bold grapefruit and pine, then finishes clean with a balanced, hoppy bitterness. A subtle yet deep English malt profile elevates the hop notes while a slight sweetness underlines the brew.

Sampled from the tap at Churchkey. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of earthy and bitter citrus with a bread backbone. Flavor has lots of musty citrus with a bit of grapefruit and a sweet grain backbone.

Draft pour at Meridian Pint. Poured a hazy golden orange color with a small white head. Aroma was lots of fruity, juicy fruits. Tropical fruit, mango, guava. Light citrus. Flavor was very similar, very juicy, very enjoyable. Some pine resin on the finish. Impressed.

Nice. Always great to try a wonderful beer from a brewery you’ve never heard of. Hoppy forward but well balanced. Pours hazy orange with good head and lacing. Bittersweet finish. Very drinkable. Tap at meridian pint.

16oz pint at Brookland Pint pours a hazy orange with some lacing, cloudy head. Nose has a lot of great fruity notes, peaches, grapes, apricots, lemons, juicy oranges, mango, guava. Flavor follows, mango, pineapple, guava, orange, lime, dank pine notes, soap, grass. Dry, bitter finish. The next big thing maybe.
