TASTING NOTES A creamsicle meringue rests atop a mysterious body of grilled mango and haze. Tropical aromas of clementine, peach, strawberry, mango, and papaya leap from the glass. Juicy flavors of grapefruit, white grape and whipped
dance across the palate. Balanced citrus rind bitterness gives way to a pillowy warmth.

pFriem Hazy IPA is inspired by the New England/Vermont brewed “Hazy IPA’s” or “Juicy IPA’s”. These beers are very hop-forward, tropical, round, and of course – juicy. In traveling to the East Coast and trying these beers, we found these hop-forward ales can be thick and turbid while others display a moderate haze.
In pFriem’s Hazy IPA, we focused on the big tropical/juicy hop flavors balanced by a full body and a moderate amount of haze. The haze in these beers can be caused by many things: adjuncts, un-finished beers, adding flour, leaving lots of hop solids and particulates in the beer, heavy loads of yeast, etc. We choose to focus on the adjuncts, in particular, raw wheat and oats.
We took inspiration from the classic German Hefeweizen, which strikes a beautiful balance of roundness from the wheat, flavor from the yeast, and a delightful haze that is not turbid or cloying. The result is a hazy, tropical, round, juicy, intriguing, but drinkable beer. Ver menos
