Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Echoes

◎ Appearance

Echoes presents a pale straw hue with excellent clarity and a bright, luminous quality characteristic of the low SRM. The head forms with fine, delicate bubbles that cling persistently to the glass, creating a lasting lace pattern. Carbonation appears gentle and refined, with steady effervescence throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant mandarin and fresh citrus notes that lead the aromatic profile, immediately inviting. Guava and tropical stone fruit develop in the mid-ground, layered with subtle banana sweetness that adds a creamy, custard-like depth. A soft, doughy undertone from the wheat malts provides grounding without obscuring the fruit-forward character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with tangy guava and citrus brightness that plays against the silky, almost dessert-like mouthfeel. Mid-palate sweetness from the banana and flaked wheat malts creates a full, rounded body unusual at 5% ABV, while the low IBU allows the fruit complexity to remain uninterrupted. The finish is clean and refreshing, with residual tropical fruitiness fading gently.
