pFriem Krush West Coast IPA

◎ Appearance

Krush pours a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright white head that displays fine retention and delicate lacing around the glass. The carbonation is crisp and well-integrated, creating a lively visual presence that reflects the beer's lean, dry character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant stone fruit and tropical notes—tangerine, mango, and peach dominate the front, supported by mixed berries and hints of passion fruit and guava in the background. The single-hop Krush varietal delivers a clean, fruity aromatic profile without harsh herbal or resinous edges, inviting immediate investigation.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with ripe mango and navel orange, transitioning into peach and passion fruit sorbet notes that coat the mid-palate with fruit-forward sweetness balanced by a lean malt structure. The finish turns dry and resinous, with the bittering charge (45 IBU) arriving cleanly without astringency, leaving a crisp, refreshing aftertaste.

◑ Finish

A dry, resinous finish carries through with moderate length, the bittering charge asserting itself without harshness. The aftertaste returns briefly to stone fruit before fading clean and refreshing.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
