Nectar of the gods


Tried a new hop (in a beer) on Friday, for my usual beery treat while cooking up dinner for everyone I cracked open a can of IPA from Verdant called "Neon Colour Spreading" featuring a NZ hop called "Nectaron" Sounding a little like a space alien from a 1960s TV show it's a highly aromatic variety that gives the beer strong tropical fruit vibes, think mango, passion fruit and pineapple, very good indeed and handled well in this example when allied with Citra and Idaho7 plus of course, classic Verdant yeast flavours and uber-murky smoothness as is their house speciality.
