pFriem Family Brewers

West Coast IPA·United States·6.8% ABV·One of 258 West Coast IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share pFriem West Coast IPA's citrusy and resinous character. pFriem West Coast IPA takes a lean, modern route: a single pilsner malt keeps the base light, and the beer is brewed and dry-hopped with Citra, Krush, Krush Cryo, Mosaic and a little Nelson. It is pale gold with fluffy white foam. The nose brings strawberry, tangerine juice, grapefruit and a resinous, cannabis-like note alongside passion fruit and papaya. Flavors of ripe strawberry, peach tea, pine and red hard candy lead into a finish with gentle sweetness and resin. It has been part of the year-round lineup since 2023.
