Nectaron is a hop variety developed in New Zealand by the Hop Breeding Company. It was released in 2019 and has since gained popularity among brewers for its unique aroma and flavour characteristics.
Nectaron is known for its intense tropical fruit and citrus aromas, with notes of passion fruit, peach and grapefruit standing out in particular. It also has a relatively high oil content, which contributes to its strong aroma.
When brewing, Nectaron is considered a dual-purpose hop, meaning it can be used for both bittering and aroma purposes. Its alpha acid content is around 10-14%, making it suitable for use in a variety of beer styles, including IPAs, pale ales and lagers.
All in all, Nectaron is a relatively new and exciting hop variety worth exploring for its distinctive aroma and flavour characteristics.
