Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for pFriem Lemon Zest Farmhouse Ale
◎ Appearance
Deep gold in the glass with excellent clarity and a bright, white head that builds rocky and persistent foam. The carbonation is evident but restrained, maintaining fine bubbles that create distinct lacing as the beer is consumed.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with vibrant freshly squeezed citrus, dominated by bright lemon and orange notes that meld with subtle apricot undertones. A light earthiness grounds the aromatics, suggesting the contribution of unmalted wheat and spelt alongside the herbal character from Tettnang and Nelson Sauvin hops.
◐ Taste
The palate begins crisp and zesty, with lemon peel and candied orange carrying the mid-palate alongside a gentle apricot sweetness from the malt bill. The finish transitions to a creamy texture that balances tartness from the lemon zest with a restrained bitterness, maintaining clarity without harshness.
◑ Finish
The finish is medium in length, lingering with tart lemon zest and a faint peppery bitterness that fades gracefully. A creamy, refreshing aftertaste leaves the palate clean and inviting.
