We are excited to announce the first beer of our 2019 Experimental Hop Series!
We were able to get our hands on a number of different Experimental Hops that have been released in extremely limited quantities from the hop breeding program for brewers to test out. We selected the most promising hops and are brewing a series of beers each featuring one of these new hops (these hops are so fresh they don't event have names yet, just identification numbers).
Lupulin Eclipse with Experimental Hop HBC 638 is loaded with tons of tropical fruit flavors including pineapple and citrus as well as some stone fruit to round it out.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated April 15, 2019. Aroma is fruity with pear, stone fruit, tropical fruit and dank resin notes. Light malt notes and a hint of alcohol. Pours a fairly clear, golden orange with a fairly large, thick, pillowy white head that slowly recedes. Medium lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with medium malt notes of cracker and light caramel. Moderately strong bitterness and a faint alcohol note. Hop flavors of citrus, pine, dank resin, and tropical fruit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent IPA but I'm not the biggest fan of this hop's flavor. I like the aroma, but the flavor is a bit too dank and piney. Decent malt notes, though a bit maltier than I prefer.
