Green Echo presents an intense, modern sensory experience defined by a heavy-handed application of Motueka and Citra hops. The aroma leads with vibrant bursts of zesty lime, crushed mojito mint, and bright grapefruit, backed by deeper notes of tropical mango and passion fruit. On the palate, this Double IPA delivers a concentrated citrus punch with a soft, supportive malt backdrop that remains unobtrusive. The bitterness is firm yet smoothly integrated, steering clear of harshness, while the finish is impressively clean for its strength. This is a bright, hop-forward showcase emphasizing fresh fruit character over heavy malt presence and lingering resinous depth.
Appearance.Pale gold to light orange (6-8 SRM). Large, creamy white head with excellent persistence and intricate lacing. While the style allows clarity, this modern interpretation displays a distinct, attractive haze.
Aroma.High intensity. Prominent Motueka provides distinct lime zest and tropical fruit, while Citra contributes grapefruit and sweet melon. Low, neutral grainy malt sweetness provides a clean canvas. Fermentation is clean with light citrusy esters and no solventy alcohol.
Taste.Initial impression is a saturated citrus hop flavor, emphasizing lime peel and tropical fruit. Hop bitterness is high but well-sculpted and free of harshness. Malt flavor is low and soft, featuring light cracker notes. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a lingering, clean lime and resin aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate carbonation creates a soft mouth-filling sensation. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present at 8% ABV, providing a pleasant glow without astringency.
