I received the email this morning and promptly bought some, and some Citra too.Link
Yakima Valley Hops has 2022 Nectaron in stock, as of 5 minutes ago. This is a wonderful hop.
(I have no affiliation with YVH; I just like Nectaron.)
I’ve done Nectaron with Citra and with NZH-107. Both were tropical fruit bombs, the first in particular. I get tons of stone fruit, apricots especially, from Nectaron. Adding Citra brings out the mango in both. (I used about half as much Citra as Nectaron.)I was able to grab a pound of this to try and plan on a relatively simple recipe but not a SMaSH. But, I'm wondering what other hops pair well with it.
In my search for liked recipes online, many used one or more of the following: Citra, Mosaic, Nugget, Idaho 7, Strata and Centennial.
Thankfully, I have all those hops already but, in keeping it simple, probably will only use 1 of those. However, I'd like to hear from anyone who's brewed with Nectaron on what they used and what they got from using that hop(s) with Nectaron.
EDIT: I'm looking to brew either a Pale Ale or smaller WCIPA.
I have some Citra LupoMax I thought would work well and I do want to keep it simple but I also have some Eclipse from Australia I've not tried yet. Might be futile using that with Nectaron if I really want to know what it brings to the beer.I’ve done Nectaron with Citra and with NZH-107. Both were tropical fruit bombs, the first in particular.

Why not do it as a single hop and learn what that hop will do by itself before adding others and diluting the experience? Just my .02I was able to grab a pound of this to try and plan on a relatively simple recipe but not a SMaSH. But, I'm wondering what other hops pair well with it.
