Bow Echo
Wiseacre Brewing - Broad Ave OG

SOLID Hazy IPA!

Purchased at World Beverage in Braselton.
LOOK: Pours a hazy) gold color with both visible floating particles and a prominent all white head. Retention is good but settles slowly while decent side glass lace remains throughout.
AROMA: Has a mix of tart, sour citrus with some melon peeking through along with some earthy mosaic hops.
TASTE: Some juicy melon along with a touch of tartness and pine resin. Dry hops that adds to the finish.
Overall, a pretty good NEIPA.

RB transfer

12 oz can from Total Wine and More in Short Pump, VA The ale poured a clear light amber with a white foamy head and ample lacing. The aroma of citrus is easily detected with other tropical fruits. The flavors are more mangos, tangerines, and oranges. The finish is dry with hints of pine resin in the upper mouth. The ale has a medium body and average-soft carbonation.

 

 

Slightly hazy with some sediment golden color with decent a white head and even some lacing. The aroma is citrus, mango, honeydew melon and a bit of light caramel malt.
The taste is grapefruit, lemon,mango, melon and miscellaneous tropical fruit, herbal hops snd caramel. The finish is dry with lingering citrus zest.
The body is light, good carbonation level, crisp and very drinkable with a well hidden ABV. Altogether, this is a pretty decent example of hazy IPA, tasty and refreshing. Should go well with most summer activities.

Pours a hazy pale orange with chunks floating and a white bubbly head.

Citrus, floral, and tropical fruit in the nose with a touch of sweet malt.

Pineapple, orange, mango, and candied malt with a lively carbonation

 

12 oz can served in a Belgian snifter. Pours with a hazy golden body and a decent white head. Relatively strong tropical fruit notes in the aroma along with the only clear sign this ale gives re the 7% ABV; otherwise, the ABV is well hidden in a beer that drinks like 4% ABV. Good, harmonious flavor. Medium body with medium+ carbonation.

Thanks to Cameron for bringing this from Memphis. Pours nicely, but not much of a head or lacing. Ok on the nose; Kelli more enthusiastic than I am. Lingers well on the palate, giving a more favorable impression at the bottom of the glass.

16oz can at 10k feet elevation

Pours a lighter gold with small amount of actual haze. Fruity citrus scent, grapefruit and maybe mango. Taste starts off as bitter but quickly changes to fruity to match the aroma. A solid hazy.

 

 

 

 

 

Picked up a six pack of cans. Couldn't really find a date on the can or packaging, all I found was "118 3" -- not sure what that means.

Pours a not quite hazy, golden in color with a frothy, finger-thick head that dissipates to a thin layer of foam rather quickly. Lots of particulates, could probably cut them down a bit if you pay attention when pouring (I did not). Carbonation looks average with average sized bubbles rising up. Not a ton of lacing as you drink, it mostly slides down the glass. I'm not a huge fan of the particulate look. I also expected this to be a bit more hazy.

Aroma is melon, tropical fruits, berries and crackery/buttery malts. Sweet smell, overall.

Malty up front; honey, buttery and crackery. Hops come in as it sits on the tongue and towards the swallow. They follow the nose well, melon, tropical fruits, some citrus -- especially lemon and grapefruit; not the rind but the pulp -- also some evergreen pine/herbal tea characteristics. Finishes quite bitter with lingering lemon peel and tea.

Mouthfeel is on the lighter side of medium bodied with zesty carbonation. There is some creaminess/chewiness, but it does feel a bit thin. Maybe a tad overcarbonated. The finish is fairly dry. There is lingering flavor in the mouth, but it's certainly not a palate wrecker.

I'm a bit mixed on this one. It definitely drinks easy, and I actually prefer it straight out of the can. It has good enough flavor, but nothing special. There are certainly better examples of the style out there. Probably wouldn't pick this up again, but it wasn't disappointing either, just kind of average. Cheers!

While the Memphis area forecast calls for hazy conditions, Wiseacre is fully prepared for the event with a bright, smooth and flavorful Hazy IPA that puts a nice little bow on the day, no matter the weather.

An off-turbid haze comes with the pour of Bow Echo as the ale sits pretty with a foamy ivory cap. As its scent of tropical fruit add accents of citrus, melon and berry, its first sip is malty sweet instead. With a taste of cereal, shortcake and a pep of honeysuckle, the early palate certainly favors the grain.

But all things change as the hops dominate the middle palate with a juicy, ripe and radiant tropical taste that leads with pineapple. Not to be completely overshadowed, hints of passionfruit, light mango and kiwi seem present. Citrusy with orange, lemon and a hint of pink grapefruit bring a pleasant zing before a juicy melon-like taste accompanies a smooth tea-like bitterness to close.

Medium bodied, malty-dry and even keel in its bitter-sweet interplay, the ale finishes crisp, refreshing and lingering with the brightness of fruit peel, fresh spruce and botanical grasses for a fruitier, mid-juicy take on hazy ale.
