pFriem Tropical Hazy IPA

◎ Appearance

Pours a vibrant marigold with a pronounced juice-like haze that sits throughout the glass. A creamy, persistent foam builds atop the surface, demonstrating strong head retention and fine Schaumkleiden. The cloudiness derives from the oat groats and yeast suspension, lending an inviting, opaque quality.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with tangy passion fruit and ripe pineapple, their brightness anchored by natural extracts that ensure stable, lasting presence. Mango undertones add a creamy, stone-fruit richness beneath the citrus top notes. Citra and Krush Cryo hops weave a tropical framework without aggressive herbality, while the soft Pilsner and oat base contributes a gentle, clean grain backdrop.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with the tropical fruit character immediately evident on the palate. Mid-palate develops a creamy mango weight that rounds the mouthfeel; the oat component provides a silky texture without heaviness. Bitterness remains restrained at 35 IBU, finishing clean and allowing the fruit to dominate without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with tropical fruit notes lingering briefly before fading to a dry, quenching conclusion. No harsh bitterness or oxidative notes intrude; the overall arc remains fruit-forward and session-friendly.

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.
