🌍 Australia · Helles Lager · One of 158 Helles Lagers in hopIQ

Echoes is the brewery's reading of a Munich helles and one of the few clear beers in the permanent range. It stands very pale and bright in the glass beneath a fluffy white head. The pale malt base gives soft bread crust and a restrained grain sweetness, while noble hops add a herbal, lightly floral edge and a bitterness that remains gentle throughout. The finish is dry and clean, without the haze and fruit that shape most of what this house brews.

◌ Aroma

The nose is restrained and refined, leading with soft noble-hop character—herbal, gently floral, with a whisper of spice. Beneath this sits a clean, bready malt foundation that suggests fresh-baked bread crust and light grain sweetness. The overall profile is dry and understated, with no yeast-driven esters or fruity notes to complicate the composition.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a soft, slightly sweet malt entry—doughy, approachable, without heaviness. Mid-palate reveals the gentle noble-hop bitterness and herbal texture, which builds steadily and maintains composure throughout the drink. The finish pulls decisively dry, with a crisp, clean bitterness that lingers without harshness.
