El Eclipse

◎ Appearance

El Eclipse presents a pale golden hue with a characteristic haze that signals the presence of suspended yeast and hop particles. The head is modest but persistent, settling into a thin collar with decent lacing along the glass. Carbonation is brisk and visible, appropriate for a Session IPA designed for refreshment.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—grapefruit and lime—supported by distinct tropical fruit character from Citra and Ekuanot hops. A subtle herbal undertone emerges alongside piney, resinous edges from Centennial. The malt backbone remains restrained, allowing hop aromatics to dominate without any harshness or oxidation.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy tropical fruit flavors—mango and passionfruit notes—that balance a moderate, well-integrated bitterness around 40 IBU. The malt structure is deliberately light and lean, providing just enough sweetness to ground the hop character without sweetness. The body is crisp and dry, finishing clean on the palate.

◑ Finish

The finish is pleasantly dry with lingering citrus and herbal hop notes that fade gracefully. A light, refreshing quality remains without any astringency or lingering thickness.
