pFriem Hazy IPA

◎ Appearance

Pours a cloudy mango-orange hue with substantial turbidity characteristic of the style. A creamy, dense head forms and clings persistently to the glass, leaving fine lacing on each sip. The cloudiness stems from suspended yeast and hop particles rather than any residual sediment.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright stone fruit and citrus—clementine, peach, and strawberry dominate the initial impression. Tropical notes of mango and papaya emerge alongside juicy grapefruit and white grape, layered with a subtle whipped citrus character. The hop selection (Mosaic, Citra, Eclipse, Chinook) delivers a cohesive, fruit-forward bouquet without harsh vegetal notes.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and full-bodied, with the oat groats and pale malt providing a silky, rounded mouthfeel. Citrus and stone-fruit flavors develop across the mid-palate—grapefruit, white grape, and peach persist without becoming one-dimensional. A restrained citrus-rind bitterness (35 IBU) surfaces in the mid-to-late palate, providing structure and balance without overwhelming the delicate hop character.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and warming, with citrus-rind bitterness lingering gently into the aftertaste. A subtle drying sensation fades smoothly, allowing the tropical and peachy notes to settle as a pleasant memory.
