Eclipse Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Eclipse® Hops are an Australian variety developed by Hop Products Australia. Originally bred in 2004 and released commercially in 2020, Eclipse has quickly gained popularity among craft brewers for its bold citrus-forward character and versatility across beer styles.

Brewers often describe Eclipse as bursting with sweet mandarin, zesty citrus peel, and bright orange notes, backed by a touch of fresh pine. This vibrant, juicy profile makes it an excellent choice for beers where expressive hop aroma is desired, whether used to create fruit-forward hazy styles or more classic, citrus-driven IPAs.

Eclipse performs especially well in late boil additions, whirlpool hopping, and dry hopping, where its citrus intensity and layered aromatics can fully develop. It can be used generously for a saturated “fruit bomb” profile or more lightly for a balanced, refreshing hop character.

Eclipse hops are widely used in hop-forward beer styles where bright fruit aroma and moderate bitterness create balanced, aromatic beers.

Ideal for:

• Pale Ale
• American IPA
• Hazy IPA
• Summer Ale
• Australian Pale Ale

Eclipse pairs well with other Australian hops such as Galaxy, Vic Secret, and Enigma to create layered Australian hop profiles with stone fruit and tropical complexity.

• Use late boil additions to enhance stone fruit and citrus hop flavor
• Add during whirlpool or hop stand to maximize tropical aroma
• Dry hop to develop bright stone fruit aromatics
• Blend with other Australian hops for layered fruit character
• Store sealed in the freezer to preserve freshness and hop oils

Eclipse combines well with Galaxy, Vic Secret, and Enigma when building Australian-inspired hop profiles with stone fruit and tropical depth.
