The Craft Behind Cyclops Escape

A Tropical Opening Chapter

Cyclops Escape was designed to be welcoming, expressive, and endlessly drinkable — the perfect way to kick off our anniversary journey.

Hop Selection: Juicy & Expressive

We layered a powerful hop lineup to create depth and brightness:

• Peacharine – ripe peach, stone fruit sweetness

• El Dorado (T90 & Cryo) – pear, tropical candy, soft fruit richness

• Citra (Dynaboost & Cryo) – bright citrus, tropical punch, juicy lift

• Nelson Sauvin – white grape, gooseberry, elegant fruit notes

Using multiple hop formats boosts aroma and flavor while keeping bitterness soft.

Soft, Hazy Malt Base

Brewed with barley malt, oats, rye, wheat, spelt, rice, and corn, the malt bill delivers:

• A smooth, pillowy mouthfeel

• Soft haze

• Excellent drinkability

With relatively low IBU, the focus stays firmly on juicy fruit expression.

Tasting Experience

Aroma

Fresh peach, ripe pear, stone fruit, tropical notes, and a hint of watermelon.
