What Our Editors Thought
Polished floral nose with a slight lavender lean. The sip is punchy, with brisk but smooth-edged hops over a characterful but tightly controlled malt body. Minimalist approach, with small but spectacular flourishes.
What Our Panel Thought
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.
What the Brewers Say
pFriem Pilsner is as refreshing and flavorful as its European cousin.
