pFriem Dry Hopped Farmhouse Ale joins the dry, well-attenuated farmhouse beers of Wallonia with modern aroma hops. Pilsner malt, wheat and spelt make up the grist, a Belgian farmhouse yeast ferments it, and Krush, Motueka and Nelson Sauvin go in as a heavy dry hop. It pours luminous hazy gold under tall white foam. Gooseberry, mango and lime zest meet peppery yeast spice in the nose, white grape and stone fruit sit on a soft, slightly nutty body, and the finish is very dry and mineral with a clean bitterness.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for pFriem Dry Hopped Farmhouse Ale

◎ Appearance

A luminous hazy gold beneath a tall, persistent white head. The cloudiness from the Belgian farmhouse yeast and modern dry-hop additions creates an inviting, slightly opaque appearance. Carbonation is crisp and visible, supporting the foam's fine structure and retention.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with stone fruit and citrus: gooseberry, mango, and lime zest from the Krush, Motueka and Nelson Sauvin dry hop charge. A peppery, spiced character rises from the Belgian yeast fermentation, layered beneath a soft, slightly nutty grain backdrop from the Pilsner malt, wheat and spelt blend.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and bright, with white grape and stone fruit taking the center stage. The mid-palate remains soft and slightly nutty, the grain bill offering a gentle, well-rounded base without heaviness. Bitterness is clean and measured at 25 IBU, finishing dry with a mineral quality that refreshes rather than lingers harshly.

◑ Finish

The finish is notably dry and mineral-driven, with the farmhouse yeast's attenuation leaving no residual sweetness. A clean, modest bitterness fades quickly, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.
