Description
The journey commenced in October 2013, as Ecliptic Brewing opened its doors in North Portland, not just as a brewery but as a celestial haven—the “Mothership” restaurant. Fast forward to November 2021, and our cosmic footprint expanded with the Moon Room in Southeast Portland, a taproom oasis boasting an extensive selection of Ecliptic beers and the potential for a full-scale production facility. In late 2023, the esteemed Great Frontier Holdings, a collective of West Coast beer and beverage brands, was fortunate to acquire the Ecliptic Brewing brand. John, a vital force in the Ecliptic family, maintains focus on product innovation and expansion, ensuring our beloved beers reach enthusiasts across the United States.

Hazy and opaque. Not much head. Lots of grapefruit on the nose, with a bright fruity hop expression. The grapefruit bitterness is happy, the sweet pale malts work. I can dig this. Refreshing, balanced.

500ml bottle. Pours a hazy orange-yellow with a medium, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of bready pale malt, orange, coconut, pineapple, peach and vanilla. Sweet flavour of bready caramel malt, orange, pineapple, coconut, vanilla, peach, mango and light alcohol in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with a sticky texture and average carbonation. Tasty and ABV is well hidden, making this dangerously easy to drink.

500ml bottle. Pours a hazy gold-orange with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Fruity aroma of pale malt, peach yogurt, lacto and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of crackery pale malt, peach, lemon and floral hops in a crisp, tart lacto finish. Light to medium body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Enjoyable and easy to drink.

Blond colour, hazy. Mild aroma, stone fruit, hops, malt. It's mellow, mildly sweet, actually sweeter than the few local Cold IPAs I tried before; it's not very fresh, but it's elegant, and it just comes across like an excellent modern IPA, rather than like a whole new concept.

Hazy pink colour, maybe a touch of chocolate to the colour or could be just the power of suggestion. Actually fairly hoppy on the nose, melding with the jammy raspberry notes. On the palate, it has a mild tartness, lots of bitterness, and yeah maybe that chocolate shows up there, too. The alcohol is surprising, but it definitely contributes to the perception of bitterness. Maybe that throws the balance off kilter, but I think this was designed to be a little off kilter.
