Description:
HazelNut Brown Nectar is a nutty twist to a traditional European Brown Ale. Dark brown in color with a hazelnut aroma, a rich nutty flavor and a smooth malty finish. Dedicated to the homebrewer in each of us--the homebrewer who inspired this creation is Chris Studach, a friend of Rogues resident wizard John Maier, who added a Northwest twist to the classic style by adding hazelnuts for the host homebrew at the 1993 American Homebrewers Association convention. Chris put the nut in nut brown!
Hazelnut Brown Nectar Ale is a blend of Great Western 2-row Pale, Munich, Hugh Baird Brown, Crystal 80 and Crystal 135, Carastan, and Beeston Pale Chocolate malts; hazelnut extract; Perle and Saaz hops. HazelNut Brown Nectar is available in a 22-ounce bottle, a special commemorative 3-litre bottle with ceramic swing-top, and on draft.

Appearance - 4.0
A nice tan head with a murky brown body. Lots of carbonation rising to the top with the head staying thick on the surface.
Aroma - 4.0
Nice lightly sweet malty and nutty aroma. A little hazelnut is noticable.
Mouthfeel - 4.0
A nice clean mouthfeel, a bit light, with some good carbonation.
Taste - 4.5
Nice malty clean taste upfront with a mix of hops, leading into a little hoppy bitterness and a good hazelnut taste. Lingers off with a light nuttiness.
Overall - 4.5
I really liked this beer. Refreshing and clean, no rough flavors or mouthfeel.
