  • "The "high notes" in the Okuora Nectaron really stood out, the pineapple and tropical character really shone through"

    Cassels Brewery

  • Fantastic! This to me is the Riwaka of old – blew me away. Amazing punchy hop characteristics!

    Nelson Brewer

  • "Moderately strong piney and resinous aroma with bold floral notes and very fresh aroma. Could almost be mistaken for US hops – with its piney and resinous characteristics. Very nice hop indeed!
