The story of Cassels Nectaron IPA 6x330C

Cassels & Sons is a family brewery in Woolston, Christchurch, which launched in 2009. Its Brewery Bar became a gathering place for locals after the Christchurch earthquakes, and the brewery has since become best known for its Milk Stout, which has been named World's Best in its category several times at the World Beer Awards.

Nectaron IPA is named for the hop it is built around. Nectaron was bred in New Zealand by Plant & Food Research under Dr Ron Beatson, working with NZ Hops, and was announced in July 2020. It is a full sister to Waimea, and the last three letters of the name honour Beatson. The hop is known for passionfruit, nectarine and pineapple, and that tropical and stone fruit character is the heart of this beer.

The IPA is 6.1 per cent and comes in a six-pack of 330ml cans. It drinks fruity first, then finishes with a refreshing bitterness that suits spicy food. Pour it cold with a chicken curry, a loaded burger or a plate of fried chicken, and pour it into a glass so the hop aroma has room to open up.
