Weyerbacher Echo

Brewed by Weyerbacher Brewing Co.
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Easton, Pennsylvania USA

On draft at Mr. Dunderbaks (Tampa, FL). Pours a clear dark amber with one finger foamy white head. Aroma is sweet and floral with notes of pine, citrus, grapefruit, grass, floral hops, some hints of malt sweetness and honey. Flavor is also sweet and floral with notes of spice, pine, citrus, grapefruit, honey, bread, grass, yeast, some hints of caramel, rye, grains. Generally medium body with a floral hop finish.

Draft at Redlight. Cloudy brown pour with a thick creamy head. Spicy rye and hop aroma. Thick malty spicy rye hop bitter bite in the taste. Good ipa, not great.

Draft at Redlight Redlight. Pours a dark copper color with a small, foamy white head leaving thin strips of lacing down the glass. The aroma shows citrus and grassy hops on top of a caramel and biscuit malt base with hints of the rye. The flavor follows with the citrus and piney hops to go with a bigger rye component. The rye lends a good amount of spiciness as the caramel malt tries to smooth things over. Medium bodied with good carbonation and a long bitter finish that is just a bit too bitter and biting. It’s pretty drinkinable, but nothing I would reach for again.

Draft at Redlight Redlight. Pours a hazy amber with a thick tan head. Aroma is a nice citrus hop, vanilla and biscuit malt mix. Flavors aren’t quite as well balanced as the aroma. Citrus hops dominate the finish with a bitterness that isn’t super enjoyable. There’s a maltiness in there, too, that isn’t all that pleasant. It isn’t terrible, but it seems like it is trying to be too many things at once.

Draft at Capone’s during Philly Beer Week, then in a 12oz bottle. Pours a clear chestnut color, capped with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma is primarily rye and earthy hops, with some dark fruit and caramel in the background. Flavor of earthy simcoe hops, with some rye, pine, grapefruit, and caramel. Medium bodied and fairly easy to drink. Rye hangs out for a long finish, with a bit of a metallic sensation clinging to the palate.

Tap at OTH. Pours copper lightly hazy with a thin white head. Aroma was simply hoppy with some fruits. Taste, malty, hops, thick mouthfeel with notes of citrus fruits. Some spices and a light bitter finish.

draft @ redlight redlight. Spicy, hoppy nose, citrusy with earthy notes. Pours amber orange with a white head. Spicy overtones in the flavor with strong pine and citrus hops with caramel malts in the background. This has a big mouthfeel, it feels very thick. In the finish i get the rye with residual hops.

Draft... Clear, dark, ruby ale with a small, creamy, white head. Nice retention. Earthy hops, lots of pine, spicy rye and mild grapefruit constitute the aroma. Full-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and dancing carbonation. Moderate pine and citric bitterness, rye dryness and low residual sweetness. Finishes crisp, snappily bitter and dry.
