Obscured date, but purchased the week it hit the store. Canned. Drunk 8/8/24. Moderately-to-heavily hazy, brighter, lighter flaxen-golden-brass. Well-retained, large, white head. Sweaty, yeasty, stinky, lots of mineral and stone fruit with funky tropical fruit too. Juicy and quite aromatic with cracker malts supporting gently. Love the Eclipse here, adding tons of mineral and funk. Soft, juicy, lots of mineral, flavorful citrus without punch and, most importantly, no pineapple twang or resin. Cracker and white bread malts support gently and offer easygoing textures without too much sweetness nor edge. Bitterness is low, but ample given the high attenuation. Remains juicy, malty and interesting all the way through, never getting too malty nor resinous.

473ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, bright golden colour with slightly late awakening, average to huge, thick, firm, frothy to creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Juicy, citrusy and tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of passion fruit and lemon, hints of melon, mango, mandarine, some nectarine, oaty malty background, condensed, zesty citrusy overtones. Taste is slightly bitter, citrusy fruity hoppy and oaty as well as pale malty with some residual sweetness, notes of lemon, some orange, zesty hints of orange peel. Creamy-watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation. Relatively restricted spectrum of hop flavours, quite (zesty) bitter, not really harmonious - good but not outstanding.

Can @Luppolo Station (Rome). Dorata torbida, schiuma bianco-giallognola leggera. Freschissima al naso, tanta frutta, melone bianco, ananas, note citriche, passionfruit. In bocca è dolce, fruttata, succosa, con amaro leggero in chiusura. Corpo medio, carbonazione medio-leggera. Manca forse un pizzico di amaro in chiusura, ma l'esplosione di frutta è clamorosa.

I don't know where they're going with these beer names lately. Anyway, the beer world is awash in IPA, as everyone knows. But what confuses me is that even from one brewery, they're making like 400 different IPAs. It's all a bit silly is it not? Or is the goal to make a bunch of one-offs just for the hype sales? I dunno. Anyone, here's another unique hop combo in hazy form. A few I've had, a few (comet, eclipse) I've never had to my knowledge. Not realyl citrusy despite the descriptions. A little dank, some pine resin, plenty of tropical fruit and sweat sock. Flavor semi-dry similar hop flavors as aroma, tropical, lingering resin. Stone fruit. Super cloudy yellowish haze. A touch creamy.

16 oz can from Paragon, 7/26/23. Canned 7/3/23. Hazy yellowish-orange in color, with a foamy white head. Orange, mango, and pineapple on the aroma. Bit of grapefruit and papaya as well. Juicy and fairly sweet with a bit of underlying bitterness as well. Nice beer.
