ECLIPSE, Pellets T90

What is Eclipse?

Eclipse is a high-impact, Australian-grown hop variety developed to offer brewers unique and striking flavour profiles. Its hallmark characteristics of mandarin and citrus, combined with a balanced bitterness, make it a standout choice for both contemporary and traditional brews.

How to use Eclipse:

• Bitter Hop: With its high alpha acids, Eclipse adds a clean and pronounced bitterness to beers, which is particularly effective in hop-forward styles like IPAs and Double IPAs.
• Aroma Hop: Its robust and vibrant citrus aroma enhances the sensory profile of any brew, especially in the late boil or whirlpool stages.
• Dry Hop: Eclipse's intense mandarin and sweet fruit flavours truly shine when used as a dry hop, creating layers of complexity and a fresh, fruity bouquet.

Flavour Profile:

Eclipse delivers an unmistakable punch of mandarin, zesty orange, and ripe sweet fruits. These bold notes make it a distinctive addition to beers, lending them a juicy and refreshing character.

Combining with Other Hops:

Eclipse pairs harmoniously with hops like Galaxy, Vic Secret, and Citra, amplifying their tropical and citrus profiles. For a more layered flavour, it can be combined with earthy or herbal varieties to add depth.

Benefits of Eclipse:

This hop variety is a brewer’s dream due to its ability to deliver both intense flavour and versatile usage. Whether crafting a bold IPA or an experimental sour, Eclipse adds a signature fruit-forward touch that stands out in the glass.

Substituting Eclipse:

• How can this hop be substituted: If Eclipse is unavailable, hops like Galaxy or Amarillo can provide a similar citrus-forward character, though they may lack the same intense mandarin punch.
• Eclipse as a substitute: When replacing other hops, Eclipse’s vibrant fruitiness makes it an ideal candidate for enhancing citrus-heavy recipes or modern hop-forward beers.

History.

Eclipse was developed as part of Australia's continued innovation in hop breeding. With its vibrant flavour and high performance, it quickly became a favourite for brewers seeking bold, fruit-driven profiles.
