Heavy Echo

About this beer

A bold and expressive New Zealand IPA from Welsh brewery Polly's Brew Co, showcasing two of the most celebrated contemporary hop varieties from New Zealand. Heavy Echo is a 6.8% ABV IPA built around Nelson Sauvin and Nectaron, carefully layered to bring out their distinctive and complementary flavour characteristics. The brewery describes an intensely fruit-forward profile led by passionfruit, white grape and sharp gooseberry, with additional notes of pineapple, soft peach and grapefruit. Nelson Sauvin contributes to the beer's distinctive white grape and gooseberry character, while Nectaron brings an expressive combination of ripe tropical and stone fruit flavours. By layering these two varieties, Polly's creates a multifaceted hop profile that moves between bright, tangy fruit notes and softer, sweeter tropical flavours. Heavy Echo celebrates the reputation New Zealand hop growers have established for producing distinctive and highly aromatic varieties, placing their character firmly at the centre of the beer. At 6.8% ABV, this substantial IPA delivers the intensity and depth expected of a modern hop-forward release, making it particularly appealing to drinkers who enjoy expressive New Zealand hops and richly layered fruit flavours.
