pFriem Family Brewers Pale Ale

“Dank and terpene-soaked, the hop character is buoyed by clean malt and a mild floral ester. The first impression is that the beer needs to be more bitter, but the slow build of the bitter finish convinces you soon enough.”

Gentle but distinct floral-herbal hop nose marries sweet cracker-malt and a welcome whiff of sulfur. Lightly bready malt body amply supports perfume-like hop flavor and an ambitious but refined bitterness, all the way to a dry finish. Bold bitterness lingers. Hand me a full liter.

**Aroma:** “A sulfury matchstick note hits up front, but is nicely balanced by the Pilsner maltiness and flowery hops. A subtle but unique herbal, earthy hops character, as well as some floral hops notes.” **Flavor:** “A nice delicate biscuit sweetness that gives way to a floral, herbal, and citrus hops flavor. The hops hit in the middle and provide some complexity and bitterness. Nice carbonation that ends with a clean, dry finish.” **Overall:** “Clean and refreshing, a very enjoyable light Pilsner. Great hops complexity with sweet malt in the back. Impressive balance, and super quaffable.”
