pFriem Hazy IPA (2024) by pFriem Family Brewers was evaluated according to the 2021 Beer Judge Certification Program under category 21C, Hazy IPA.
Pouring from a 12-ounce can into a pint glass revealed a cloudy pale straw-colored beer with a prolonged two-inch frothy white head, which released a bouquet of fruity aromatics reminiscent of papaya, mango and mandarin orange. There was also a defined fresh hop presence that complemented the fruity notes.
The fruitiness manifest in the aroma profile was also intensely omnipresent in the flavor. Passion fruit and citrus notes married with a biscuit-like wheat character and the strong presence of Mosaic hops beyond that.
Thin to medium in body and non-astringent with an alcoholic warming that contributed to this beer’s presence.
A classic example of the hazy IPA style. A profusion of fruity aromas and flavors are here without ever being excessively sweet.
