Australian Eclipse Hop Profile
Eclipse® is the newest variety released by our friends at Hop Products Australia. Formerly known as HPA-016, Eclipse® entered the hop industry in 2020 with high alpha Australian and North American heritage. Bright and juicy, Eclipse® bursts with sweet mandarin, zesty citrus and orange peel (thank you, high myrcene) backed by fresh pine. This flavor profile shines in classic West Coast IPAs, and its vibrant orange vibe complements trendier, modern styles like fruit-forward hazies and crushable low-ABVs. Blend with other Aussie hops or let Eclipse® take the lead — it's ripe for your next IPA.

Eclipse Hops Description from HPA
CHARACTERISTICS
Our newest proprietary hop is bursting with sweet mandarin, zesty citrus peel and fresh pine needles. It can be used in large doses to make a hazy fruit bomb, or pared back to make a lighter style. This depth is best accessed through late additions or dry hopping.
ANCESTRY
Eclipse® was created by the HPA breeding program in 2004 and commercialised in 2020. Its ancestry is the result of cross pollination of high alpha Australian and North American hops.
