Nectaron

New Zealand premium aroma hop bred by Plant & Food Research. Exceptional tropical fruit intensity — pineapple, passionfruit, and peach dominate. One of the highest-impact NZ varieties available. Very high levels of thiol precursors make it particularly effective with thiol-active yeasts. Released commercially in 2019.
