Nectaron hop is distinguished by its intense aroma of passion fruit, peach, grapefruit and pineapple. It is ideal for any beer with a fruity profile and shows exceptional performance when used in dry-hopping.
It contains between 10-12% alpha acids, making it suitable for imparting both bitterness and aroma in beers. It has a high myrcene content (around 40-50% of total essential oils), which contributes significantly to its fruity aromas. It also contains humulene, caryophyllene and farnesene in smaller proportions, adding complexity to the aromatic profile.
