Echo

Tap to rate

Echo goes back to the first beer the brewery made in 2005 and carries a new name for a recipe that has kept moving since. Eldorado, Galaxy and Vic Secret lift an aroma of tropical fruit and citrus in which pineapple and lime stand out. Oats and flaked barley in the grist round out the body and take the edges off. At 24 IBU the bitterness stays low, which leaves a bright, easy-drinking beer with a clean finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Echo

◎ Appearance

Echo presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. The head is modest but persistent, forming a fine white foam that clings to the glass in delicate lacing as the beer is consumed. Carbonation is lively, evident in the steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical fruit esters—pineapple and lime dominate the initial impression, lifted by the three noble hop varieties. A soft malty base of oats and flaked barley provides gentle support without competing, adding subtle cereal notes that ground the aromatic profile. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with no aggressive alcohol or harsh phenolics.

◐ Taste

The palate enters clean and crisp, with citrus and tropical notes following through from the aroma into the mid-palate. The oats and flaked barley contribute a smooth, slightly drying mouthfeel that prevents any heaviness despite the fuller body for the style. Bitterness remains restrained at 24 IBU, allowing hop character to express itself as flavor rather than harshness, finishing with an elegant dry quality.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and brief, with lingering citrus notes fading quickly into a dry, slightly mineral aftertaste. The beer leaves the palate refreshed rather than saturated, inviting another sip.
