Hop Idol: Nectaron

New Zealand's most coveted hop takes centre stage. Hop Idol: Nectaron is Kyoto Brewing Company's showcase of the Nectaron hop — PVH 062, one of the most sought-after varieties in the world of craft brewing, grown exclusively in New Zealand and prized for its ultra-intense tropical fruit character of white peach, pineapple, passion fruit and guava.

Paired with Kyoto Brewing's signature Belgian yeast, the result is a richly layered, vividly aromatic IPA with a clean, dry body and a finish that demands a second can. The people have voted. Nectaron wins.
