Surly Permanent Echo Double IPA.
9.2 % ABV. Surly Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.
I like to try out all the double IPAs, you all know that, if you know me at all. I also still want to give Surly a shake once in a while, especially when it comes to that style. Finally, this 6-pack was only $11.49. Can't pass that up. I've vanquished five of them with no problem, time to take notes on #six.
Slightly hazed, bright golden hue, large, vibrant, ivory head. Looking good.
In the nose: Screaming out citrus. Orange, grapefruit, tangerine. Dankness supreme. Also, candied apricots. Because, sure.
In the mouth: Big, bold hoppiness coats the palate. Bitterness is moderate for this style. Just a little juicy before the heat comes in. More citrusy/ fruit flavors abound, flanked by layers of dank. Alcohol burbles on the palate and bubbles in the brain. This one hits me right where I want to be hit. Yum a dum dum.
Like sound waves bouncing back to your ears, Permanent Echo’s aggressive hop flavor resonates and reverberates. Brewed with Strata, Cascade, and Mosaic hops for a citrusy, fruit-forward flavor that’s impossible to isolate, this beer leaves your head ringing.
