Portland, Ore. — Ecliptic Brewing is gearing up for summer with the release of Hoku-lele Tiki-Inspired Tropical Ale. Shipping in early-July, this Special Release beer will be the first 16-ounce can available in this series.
Ecliptic’s brewers have had a lot of fun developing the recipe for Hoku-lele – which is Hawaiian for shooting star- and are excited to be able to bring some beach vibes to everyday life. “This beer plays off those tiki type cocktails you order while on vacation,” says Ecliptic’s Owner and Brewmaster, John Harris. “There’s notes of tropical fruit like pineapple and passionfruit, while Sabro hops impart subtle coconut essence. Cinnamon and almond add unique flavor and complexity. If you can’t travel this summer, we’re basically bringing the beach to you.”
Hoku-lele Tiki-Inspired Tropical Ale will be the third release in the new 16-ounce can format for Ecliptic Brewing. It will support the Cosmic Collaboration Series and the rotating Vega IPA Series already in the market.
Hoku-lele Tiki-Inspired Tropical Ale will be released in both draft and 16-ounce cans throughout Ecliptic Brewing’s distribution network around July 1st. Visit Ecliptic’s website for up to date details on potential release events.
