Portland's Ecliptic Brewing is diving into the heavy conceptual beers this year, the latest is Cosmos Coconut & Vanilla Hazy IPA. The kind of beer you may be surprised is not a cream ale or stout.

Cosmos Coconut & Vanilla Hazy IPA features layers of tropical Cashmere hops and the unusual Sabro Hops which throw a lot of natural coconut flavor. Cosmos throws off the scent of fragrant vanilla and coconut to remind you of summer beach-side sipping.

More from a press release:

John Harris, Ecliptic Brewing Owner and Brewmaster, says the brew team has been wanting to create a coconut beer for years. “We’re excited to expand our hazy options with this new beer. Toasted coconut and vanilla combine with ample dry hopping to bring the juice!”

Cosmos Coconut & Vanilla Hazy IPA will first be released at Ecliptic’s pub on May 11^th. It will also be released in both draft and 500ml bottles throughout Ecliptic Brewing’s distribution network.
