Nectaron Hops
Nectaron is a premium New Zealand dual-purpose hop that was 17 years in development before its 2020 release. A full sister of Waimea, this hop delivers an intense mix of tropical fruit characters including pineapple and passion fruit, along with stone fruit (peach) and citrus (grapefruit) notes. Nectaron has quickly become a favorite for NEIPAs and has proven itself as an award-winning hop variety.
