There’s no doubt as to why Nectaron has risen to the top as a darling hop. It feels like Citra but with that big overripe thiol note that New Zealand hops are known for. It almost feels like we doubled down on Citra but with just a little bit more grippiness. It a has a sharper citrus note, and the tropical notes hit a passionfruit top layer that we don’t always get with Citra.

16oz can from Alma Mader. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy lacing. It smelled of grapefruit, mango, pineapple, caramel and pine. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a sharp, piney bitterness.
