Binary Stars Eclipse is a luminous Hazy IPA that showcases the vibrant synergy between Citra and Eclipse hops. This pour radiates with an intense bouquet of sweet mandarin orange and zesty grapefruit, complemented by deeper notes of tropical mango and a subtle resinous pine undertone. The malt profile provides a soft, bready foundation that bolsters the massive hop character without distracting from the juicy expression. A plush, velvety mouthfeel carries the fruit-forward flavors through to a smooth, off-dry finish. It is a modern exploration of hop saturation, delivering a complex and saturated sensory experience typical of the style.
Appearance.Deep straw to light orange (4-6 SRM) with a dense, opaque haze providing a characteristic glow. Crowned by a thick, meringue-like white head with high retention and significant lacing.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics of mandarin, grapefruit, and passionfruit from the Citra and Eclipse hops. Supported by a clean, lightly bready and grainy malt background with neutral to lightly fruity fermentation esters.
Taste.High fruity hop flavor featuring prominent mandarin orange, lime zest, and tropical fruit. Low bready malt flavor provides a foundation for the moderate perceived bitterness, which is smooth and rounded. Finishes off-dry with a lingering juicy character.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full, soft, and pillowy body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate, and a light alcohol warmth is integrated without any harshness or astringency.
