Ecliptic Brewing Orange Giant Barleywine: Triple Dry-Hopped Edition
What the brewers say
“Dry-hopped three separate times with Columbus, Chinook, and Simcoe, as well as Mosaic and Azacca.”
What our panel thought
“Strong grapefruit, floral, and pine hop aroma gives way to light vanilla and cinnamon notes. Simple light caramel and biscuit malt push the hops forward. Grapefruit, pine, and a touch of garlic or diesel dominate the flavor. Nicely balanced, just a hint of sweetness.”
What our editors thought
“Beautiful American hops nose with classic citrus and pine. Bold and forward in hop flavor and bitterness.”
