pFriem West Coast Pilsner
pFriem West Coast Pilsner starts from the German pilsner tradition but swaps the noble varieties for Citra and Mosaic from the Pacific Northwest. A pilsner malt base is step-mashed and fermented cool with the house lager yeast. The result is clear and crisp, with a fruit-forward character of peach, mango and tangerine over a light, bready malt backbone, and the finish stays dry and refreshing.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for pFriem West Coast Pilsner
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
