When the first Pale Ales were sailed around the Cape to arrive in India in the early 18th century, outcries of “Zounds! Jolly good! and Huzzah!” were heard across the East Indian subcontinent. Similar exclamations are to be expected when sniffing the piney aroma and tasting the big hops, huge citrus and candy-like malt of pFriem’s own IPA. Drink up, Guv’nor.

That’ll be me 20K then @ ChrisO’s. Thanks to the Wingman. Clear gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has a fine crispness. Floral pine and ripe tropical fruits. Mild bitterness. Light finish. Nice IPA.

16.9 oz bottle from Grocery Outlet. Bottled a little over a month ago. Aroma is tropical fruit, lemon, honey, grapefruit rind. Pours nearly clear old gold with a thick long-sustaining off-white fluffy head that leaves behind lots of webby lacing. Taste is highly bitter backed by a light candy sweetness. Not bad, but not sticking out from the crowd as much as I thought it would.

Bottle shared at Kenny’s 20K tasting - London. Many thanks to Dave for this one! Pours clear gold with a foamy, white head. Plenty of piney hops are present, along with crackery pale malts, honey and ripening citrus fruits. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Somewhat dry on the finish, with some pale bread, touches of alcohol, piney bitterness, citrus rind. Nice IPA.

Had this bottle at the 2/20/16 Pittsburgh RB Gathering @ Insurrection in Heidelberg. Big thanks to my fellow ratebeerians! Big thanks to Douglass88 for this one! When you pop the lid you get this big dull ipa olfactory permeating impact. Taste is older difficult bitterness. Fer sure this is one of the ipas I’’ve had that kick you in the teeth. Bold, green grapefruit flavors all round, twisting and turning. Nasty on style double ipa flavors like you’ve never had, sprucy pine tar. Borders on thick and viscous. Finish is terribly on style, what else can be said?

pFriem IPA on tap at Imazato. It is a slightly lighter in color than the Fred but it remains a lovely honey gold with a filmy off-white head. It’s got a resinous hop that gives me peppery prickly pear that evokes tropical fruits. Med-full bodied with a prickly carbonation. This is a classic dank resinous piney IPA featuring pine sap and bark. Well balanced and easier drinking than you’d expect from 7.2%

Bottle consumed at Kenny’s 20K tasting, thanks to Dave. It pours clear amber with a medium white head. The nose is fresh, rather juicy, orange candy, sherbet and a hint of toffee. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter, big hit of alcohol heat, wood, straw, bitter orange and grapefruit rind. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Plenty of bitter orange about this. Quite good, but the alcohol is too big of a part of this beer.
