The next beer in our Lupulin Eclipse IPA Experimental Hop Series is here! This IPA features Experimental Hop HBC 685. This beer reminds us of a classic West Coast IPA hop profile filled with pine but in a clean and modern way. We also get some nice floral and grassy notes to compliment the pine and some apricot to finish it off. Be the first to try these new hops

Poured from a 16 oz can dated May 29, 2019. Aroma is fruity with some tropical notes and berries, like a cross between Nelson and Mosaic but with some spicy, Woody notes as well. Light cracker malt notes. Pours a fairly clear, golden color with a medium large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly but steadily. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes and a bit of a bready, biscuit note. Medium high bitterness with some lingering bite and a faint alcohol note. Medium tropical fruit notes of passion fruit and mango with lighter gooseberry and other berry notes. Faint citrus and a moderate, woodsy note that lingers into the finish with the bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent beer. A solid, west coast style IPA that allows the full profile of the hop to show. The fruitiness of the hop is quite nice but the spicy, woodsy note that persists into the finish is a bit disappointing.
