About this beer
This is the 13th of 18 labels we have from Ecliptic Brewing. It is one of 151 ipa (other/unspecified) labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 3 days after it was submitted. The label names 3 hops — Strata, Mosaic and Simcoe, and carries dry-hopped on the front. The brand on the label is Ecliptic Brewing; it was brewed at NINKASI BREWING COMPANY, Ninkasi Brewery, LLC in Oregon. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A luminous spherical orb dominates the front label, rendered in swirling gradations of chartreuse, orange, and deep olive green that suggest solar activity or atmospheric turbulence. The sphere glows from within, with highlights at upper left and right creating a three-dimensional effect against a dark gradient background that fades to black at the edges. A white triangular emblem for the Triangulum Collab Series is centered on the sphere, with the beer name "Solar Cycle Fresh Hop IPA" set in white sans-serif type below it. The composition is centrally focused and symmetrical, with brewery logos and regulatory panels arranged vertically along the right edge.
From the label“Like the three stars in the constellation Triangulum, our annual Solar Cycle Fresh Hop IPA collaboration brings together three unique brewers. This year's beer shifting with the seasonal hop harvest, this year's beer features Strata, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops, giving bold aromas of citrus, tropical fruits, and berry, alongside subtle floral and piney notes for balance.”

The label names its hops (Strata, Mosaic, Simcoe), which is enough for a real starting point.
