Beer type: IPA. RAR describes it like this: “Starting with citrus notes that progress into bold grapefruit and pine, the Nectar finishes clean with a balanced, pleasantly hoppy, bitterness. A subtle yet deep English malt profile not only stands up to, but elevates the hop notes while a slight malt sweetness underlines the experience.”
Fun fact: The beer is named after the Nanticoke Indian Tribe, from the Eastern Shore.
Pairs best with: Seafood (see slide 3 for more details) (Photo courtesy WTOP/Brennan Haselton)
