Boasting a dazzling reddish copper hue and an exquisite floral aroma, Red Nectar is a robust yet elegant brew with distinctive accents of toasted caramel, spice and residual sweetness. An American classic – and a Gold Medal winner at the 1999 Great American Beer Festival and a Silver Medal winner at the 2004 Great American Beer Festival (for category of American Amber Ale).

"Drank this straight from the bottle (I know, but I was tired) so I don't know what it looks like. Aroma was good. Mouth feel was solid, not watery, but drinkable enough to enjoy as a cool down. A good deal of hop bite, but not so much to hide the sweet finish."

[3] Review by jlozier from Lone Pine, CA, USA who has tried this beer many times. (5/16/2007 9:14:36 PM)
"A very pretty brown ale with a light tan head. Tastes and smells flowery (is "florally" a word?). This beer is uber-tasty. Malty aftertaste. Goes down a little too smoothly and feels nice (not chewy at all, but not exactly watery, either). Little bit of a hoppy bite...just enough to stop the malts from being too sweet. "

[4] Review by Dansting from Overland Park, KS, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/3/2006 10:09:40 PM)
"Bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy amber color with a nice, off-white head. Nice lacing. Sweet, fruity aroma. Nice mouthfeel. Taste is a sweet caramel flavor with a hint of fruit. Sweet malty aftertaste. Good beer, but definitely not a session beer for my tastes."

[5] Review by caddylac from OP, KS, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (11/9/2005 6:42:12 PM)
"Pours to a slightly cloudy copper color with a nice almond colored head bout 1/4 inch thick. Has a nice hop flavor with a nice mild citrus flavor to it. This is the kind of Ale that you could drink all night if you wanted. Nice blend of hops and malt that clean and refreshing. Nice beer."
