Sensory Profile

• Appearance: light golden, almost straw-colored, with fine and persistent white foam
• Nose: tropical fruit (mango, pineapple, passion fruit) and stone fruit (peach, apricot) — all thanks to Nectaron
• Mouth: fresh and balanced, with a delicate bitterness and a malty base that softens the hop notes
• Body: light, smooth, with low alcohol content — ideal for long sessions

The Nectaron Hop

Nectaron is a new-generation New Zealand variety developed by Plant & Food Research: it brings notes of tropical and stone fruit with a rare aromatic intensity, making it one of the most sought-after hops by craft breweries worldwide. Ritual Lab uses it in Astro to extract the maximum in a light and drinkable beer.
