It covers a different part of the citrus-tropical range to its HPA stablemate Galaxy, and together they build the juicy citrus-tropical wall you see in a lot of modern Australian hazy pales and IPAs. Where Citra leans grapefruit and lime, Eclipse pushes sweeter mandarin and orange with a resinous pine edge. Pair it with Galaxy or Vic Secret for a fully Australian hop bill.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePractical notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEclipse rewards late use. Keep it for the whirlpool and dry hop where the mandarin and orange really come through, and use only a small early charge for bittering since the alpha is high. For a hazy, 25 to 50g of dry hops is a good starting point. Being an HPA hop grown here, Eclipse is usually very fresh in Australia. Store cold and sealed, push the air out, and use within 12 months of opening.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReviewed by the AHB Brewing Team - June 2026\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Australian Home Brewing","offers":[{"title":"25g","offer_id":41994991304781,"sku":"22209","price":7.3,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":43196846342221,"sku":"22279","price":12.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":43196846374989,"sku":"22106","price":17.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/8306\/0045\/files\/hop-pellets-eclipse.jpg?v=1785220517","url":"https:\/\/www.australianhomebrewing.com.au\/products\/hop-pellets-eclipse","provider":"Australian Home Brewing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
