This is a new entry in our Self-Reliance series of Farmstead® single-hop India pale ales. Received initially as an experimental hop titled “HPA 016” from Hop Products Australia, the beer was brewed, dry-hopped exclusively with this hop, and aged four months in our oak puncheons. While the beer was in process, HPA has since given this hop an official release and new name: Eclipse®.

This one pours a semi-hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells like some sort of funky fruitiness I can’t quite put my fingers on – guava? Dragonfruit? I’m not sure. There’s white wine, lemon, grapefruit, and passionfruit, though.
This is really quite tasty, but I’m also very much a sucker for this series. It’s got an exotic but earthy fruitiness to it, with some clean herbal and lemony bitterness, sweet pink grapefruit, melon, and a nice light white wine acidity.
This is light bodied, clean, crisp, but full on the back end, creamy, and super drinkable.
I can’t quite pick out everything I’m getting with this one, as I haven’t eaten enough weird fruits out there, but I still really enjoyed it all the same.

Clear straw gold with a puffy white head that retains tall while slowly receding to a more level if bubbly blanket. Halfway through the bottle the body does lightly haze and darken up.
Pungently gassy, aged-like hops with bright tropical fruit accents like rambutan and maybe even pomegranate meet light elements of hay filled barn and mild oak.
The body is unusually velvety with a fine crispness that finishes herbally bitter and semi-dry.
