Polly's - Nectaron

Through every iteration of our growth over the last demi-decade, one thing that has persisted throughout is this brewery’s love of hops, and how we’ve born an entire business that now looks after the livelihoods of fourteen team members from this love. The Hop Studio felt like a natural extension of this love – showcasing the single most complex, wonderfully diverse ingredient we use in our process bar none. Of all the hop varieties on our contract for 2023, there has been none garnering quite the level of excitement as Nectaron. Already the newest darling of the brewing scene, its scarceness has justified its worth – after being told month after month it would be coming soon, we’ve finally gotten our hands on it and what else to use it on than a straight up mid-strength IPA? Passionately crafted over 17 years by NZ Hops, the result is ultra-potent passionfruit, pineapple, peach and grapefruit flavour notes that make this a perfect addition to a modern IPA
