pFriem Family Brewers IPA
What the brewers say
“Big hops, huge citrus, and a candy-like malt.”
What our panel thought
“Big hop aroma with a woody, piney, lightly citrus pith punch. Light POM and peach—almost a little plum. Flavor has a big up-front piney-citrus bite that leads to a crisp, bitter, drying finish. A nice underlying malt sweetness ties together the hops and bitterness. Piney, citrusy hops linger.”
What our editors thought
“Citrus with a distinct floral-blossom note in the nose, the flavor uses a touch of malt sweetness to highlight the citrus notes in the sip, while the restrained bitterness recedes. Crisply modern with a classic familiarity.”
