Docta-Ron: First brewed in May 2023 when renowned New Zealand hop breeder Dr. Ron Beatson visited Russian River Brewing to collaborate with Vinnie in the pilot brewery. Inspired by Vinnie’s passion for Nectaron, the unique hop developed by Dr. Ron, they created a Nectaron-focused beer, complemented by other New Zealand hops from Dr. Ron’s previous breeding work.

Bright. Pale gold. The nz hop aroma is expressive, nice pear, lychee, floral sort of notes. Medium bitterness, and quite clean. The malts are great here, and the hops have held up pretty well for being 2 months old at this point.

500ml bottle. Nectarine aroma with notes of peach, grapefruit, tangerine, floral and grassy hops. Pours brilliantly clear golden colored with a large off white head that has excellent retention and lacing. Starts with juicy nectarine, tangerine and grassy hop flavors. Finishes dry but still quite smooth with peach, grapefruit and floral hop flavors. Excellent ipa.
