pFriem Oktoberfest

◎ Aussehen

Brilliant gold under a fluffy white head that clings persistently to the glass. The beer displays excellent clarity with fine carbonation that rises steadily. The foam retention speaks to proper conditioning and a well-balanced malt structure.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with rising bread dough and biscuit, grounded in the soft sweetness of Pilsner and Vienna malts. Honeydew melon and green apple bring delicate fruitiness, while Spalt and Tettnang hops contribute a whisper of wildflower and herbal restraint. The overall impression is clean and inviting, with no sharp edges.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters round and malt-forward, with honey and sourdough providing warm, comforting notes. White grape and a subtle hint of lavender emerge mid-palate, adding complexity and floral character. The 22 IBU provides gentle structure without overwhelming the delicate malt profile.

◑ Abgang

The finish remains crisp and clean, with the lager yeast contributing clarity and the hops providing just enough definition to prevent cloyness. The aftertaste fades gently without lingering sweetness.
