LET YOUR MIND WARP AND BE TRANSPORTED BACK TO A LONG-GONE LANGUID SUMMER DAY, ILLUMINATED IN GOLDEN POSSIBILITY...
Drop out and dissolve into a hazy IPA, brewed with lactose, vanilla and dripping with mango puree. With heady tropical fruit aromas from the Galaxy, Citra and Amarillo hops, this shape shifter has a smooth and creamy mouthfeel and a firm bitterness that might make you see the world a little different… if only for a moment.
Altered from reality, Sticky Nectar is the second limited release from Counter Culture – beers that go against the grain.
Note: Re-released later as a Pilot Batch beer.

Can at the Great British Beer Festival 2019 - London. Pours clear gold with a frothy, yellow-white head. Very good, with notes of semi-ripe citrus, mild citric tang, bready pale malts. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, restrained bitterness. Good beer.

From a 500ml can on 18/5/2019. Pours a ever so slightly hazy golden with a medium head. The nose is light tropical fruit. The flavour is sweet, and dominated by mango (as you'd expect) and apricot. Finishes with a gentle bitterness. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Solid and enjoyable.

Taster at Sydney beer festival. Hazy amber, thin head. Tropical fruit nose. Good lacing. Cleansing ale with a fruity caramel finish. Some mineral dryness really gives balance. Nice.
