By the 1790’s the British were established in India and needed beer, which was considered a staple in every household. India, however, presented serious problems for brewers. Hot temperatures, poor water and short supplies of basic ingredients made it impossible to brew beer. Attempts to ship beer out of Britain to Calcutta failed.
George Hodgson of London produced a pale ale of greater strength and bitterness than those he sold in London. The hops helped protect the beer from spoilage, as did the increased alcohol content. Hodgson’s India Ale arrived in Calcutta in fine shape-clear, strong, and bitter, with a big, resinous hop aroma. The word spread of India Pale Ale and people throughout England and the United States were clamoring for this wonderful new beer. The rage lasted through 1970’s, but lost steam in the 1980’s and became just another name for low alcohol bitters.
As craft beer has emerged and grown, so has IPA! IPA has helped grow Craft Beer to what it is currently today. There are now many shapes and forms of IPA, but they all share bright aromatic hop aroma of citrus, tropical fruit, and pine. Hop flavor coats the tongue and these beers finish with an assertive, but balanced bitterness.
Eclipse + Strata Hazy IPA was crafted to deliver a luscious, fruit-forward experience that is both refreshing and indulgent. We meticulously selected and paired hops known for their tropical and citrusy aromas, creating a complex and inviting bouquet. The soft, silky mouthfeel is achieved through a combination of careful brewing techniques and a touch of oats and wheat resulting in a beer that is luscious, easy to drink and incredibly satisfying. The balance between sweetness and bitterness is intentional, allowing the fruity flavors to shine without overwhelming the palate. This beer is a celebration of hop-driven craft, designed to delight the senses and leave you wanting more.
This hazy IPA pours a cloudy golden hue, topped with a pillowy white head. Aromas of juicy tropical fruits, like pineapple, guava, and orange, mingle with hints of grapefruit zest and berry. The palate is incredibly smooth and velvety, with a burst of tropical flavor that lingers on the finish. The bitterness is balanced perfectly, allowing the fruity sweetness to shine. This beer is a true indulgence for the senses.
