Fresh Hops: Talus
Starstruck IPA was originally a one-off Breakside 10th anniversary collaboration with Ecliptic Brewing released in 2020. The can label featured an illustration of Crater Lake at night and the likeness of Ecliptic’s legendary founder John Harris hidden in the rocky island in the middle. We are glad to see Starstruck is back and with fresh hops! This West Coast IPA features the very distinctive NeoMexicanus hop variety Talus, which is a relative of Sabro. While not as strong in oak and coconut flavors as Sabro, the Talus hops do carry some of those flavors but more balanced with notes of cedar, pineapple and mango for a real Pina Colada of flavor. Starstruck also showd off Cashmere and Eldorado, plus Mosaic hops for a real wide spectrum of flavors that left you starstruck. The fresh hop version features hard to find Talus fresh hops from Coleman Agriculture.

Can. Pours a orange hue with a large white head. A big sweet citrus nose. Rich, lots of pine, mango, sweet juicy hop. Very flavorful. Smooth. Great.
