Description
Ecliptic Brewing is a venture from John Harris, an Oregon craft brewing icon. As a result of his efforts at McMenamins, Deschutes and Full Sail, craft beer lovers have been enjoying John's beers for over thirty years.

The name Ecliptic Brewing unites John’s two passions: brewing and astronomy. The ecliptic is earth’s yearly path around the sun, and we celebrate this journey through the seasons with the food and beer we make. We rotate our scratch-made menu every six weeks, always highlighting seasonal and local ingredients whenever possible. Our brewhouse showcases several beer releases each year, ranging from modern and experimental brews to long standing favorites. And through it all, we respond to our customer's desires and introduce them to new experiences that keep them coming back for more.

Flagship beers include Starburst IPA, Carina Peach Sour Ale, and Capella Porter. Our seasonal series changes five times a year and includes favorites such as Quasar Pale Ale and Filament Winter IPA. We also brew a selection of Special Releases and Cosmic Collaboration beers.

You can find Ecliptic beers in restaurants and retail shops in Oregon, Washington, Northern Idaho, Colorado, North Carolina, Canada, and Japan.

Pint Can. Pours a slightly cloudy yellow with a meager fizzy white head. The aroma is mostly grapefruit with some sweetened lemons. The taste, liek the aroma is mild citrus featuring grapefruit and lemons and some rock candy on the back end. The palate is light and crisp with soft carbonation. Finishes medium ibn duration. Overall: Decent--But I still don't know what differentiates a "New Zealand" style IPA from any other.

0.355l can. Aroma is citrusy, piney, tropical fruity and resinous. Pours cloudy dark golden color with thick soapy off-white head, nice lacing and sparkling appearance. Taste starts juicy citrusy and ripe tropical fruity, following is grainy, herbal and medicinal, while finish is pretty bitter and dry. Medium body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Phasers gonna phase…
