pFriem Pear Golden Ale

◎ Aussehen

Brilliant gold with excellent clarity and a frothy, persistent head that leaves fine lacing on the glass. The carbonation is notably lively and fine, creating a steady stream of bubbles that sustains the foam throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright jasmine and white grape, followed by pineapple and ripe pear from the barrel and concentrate work. A delicate orange blossom note underlies the fruit, with subtle floral and orchard character throughout, lifted by the dry, winey quality imparted by six months in Sauvignon Blanc wood and Brettanomyces.

◐ Geschmack

Pilsner malt and white wheat provide a clean, crisp foundation with light, refreshing character. The palate is bone-dry with restrained bitterness from Tettnang and Hallertau Blanc, allowing the pear concentrate and barrel-derived stone fruit to play through without sweetness, finishing with lingering orchard and floral notes.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and persistent, with lingering orchard fruit and delicate floral notes that evolve over several minutes. No cloying sweetness remains—instead, a subtle winey, peppery character from the Brett and champagne yeast conditioning rounds the aftertaste.
