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.

16oz can from Tavour. Dark golden pour, light cloudiness, thick, fluffy white head. Gorgeous. Aroma is subtle grainy, malty notes, minor hoppy notes at the back. tase starts with the malts, light caramel notes, with hops sliding in almost undetected underneath. Light citrusy notes, gentle bitterness. The hoppy notes remain on the palate. Nice smooth, creamy feel.

Pretty hazy golden and peach coloured (true) body with a nice, but very fast-dying off-white head that only shows a single centimetre at first and fades to just a thin layer after a few seconds. Aroma of peach, apricots, funky bretty and lactobilly yeast notes with a light dose of hay and grasses, but the flowers and very soft peach notes are strongest with a good dose of the funky yeast here in the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Pretty assertive fresh fruit notes show the peach notes front and centre with a lot of flowers and dry notes and an enjoyable funkiness from the yeast and finishing with a soft sweetness and tartness. Aftertaste shows a very easy-drinking, crisp and super apricoty, peachy finish that has a very mild sweetness, a soft tartness and a crisp wheatie bite that is super easy-drinking, enjoyable and showing some light complexity, especially for the style that makes this enjoyable throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Portland (Pearl District), Oregon on 27-March-2021 for US$3,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 24-January-2023.

Pint can. Pours a slightly hazy yellow gold color with a big sudsy white head that slowly recedes away. The aroma is dominated by citrusy Motueka hops. The taste is similar to the nose--lemon, grapefruit, and something soapy. There is a grainy malt backbone that is rather nice. The palate is full and even and the carbonation soft. Finishes long with lingering bitter grapefruit. Overall: Decent--More of an APA than a pils, but still very enjoyable and tasty.
