pFriem Triple IPA

◎ Appearance

Pours bright gold with excellent clarity and a dense white foam head that clings persistently to the glass. The carbonation is lively, with fine bubbles rising steadily through the beer. Schaumhaftung is notably well-sustained, framing the body with successive layers of lace.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with stone fruit and cream—prominent peach and vanilla notes—alongside fresh strawberry. Secondary aromas reveal blueberry, pineapple, and ripe tropical fruit from the blend of Mosaic, Citra, and Nectaron hops. Hop character is bold yet refined, with no harsh herbality dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and medium-bodied, defying the 10% ABV through judicious use of dextrose and Pilsner malt. The palate develops layered citrus and berry fruit, with juicy tropical notes building in the mid-palate. Bitterness remains restrained at 45 IBU, integrated rather than assertive, allowing the fruit expression to remain focal.

◑ Finish

The finish turns pleasantly dank, with earthy Chinook and Simcoe notes joining ripe citrus and berry character. Light malt sweetness provides balance, trailing into a dry, lingering aftertaste.
