Rating: 4/5
Notes: Bright and citrusy with not much sour or tartness. Very enjoyable and would be a great go to on a hot day. The tangerine stands out. It’s kinda crazy that this is my first review of Ecliptic or Brooklyn. I’ve drank plenty of Brooklyn and a ton of Ecliptic. Great to see this collaboration.
Bottle art : I really dig it. Spacy, colorful, reflective… What’s not too like.
Drinkage: No date on bottle.
