This is a might pair of collaborators but I do not know how they came to name this pilsner, sorry, West Coast Pilsner, after sunny SoCal. Whatever the story, this Breakside + pFriem beer is sure to be good.
Oregon Collaboration Review # 1 – Pfriem & HPB
Hood River to Highland Park. That is quite the distance for a collaboration but when the brewers at each have known each other for a long, long time then the miles don’t matter.
And now we have the pFriem Spaceship Pale Ale that is dosed with the German Huell Melon hops. Bob Kunz at Highland Park brewed with Josh of pFriem for this hoppy addition to the HPB family.
The pFriem Spaceship has an orange oil essence aroma while the taste toggles between cereal and orange (skin and essence). Overall this light orange/yellow beer is probably more in the hoppy XPA realm than pale ale. I just wish I had a pFriem pale to do a side by side comparison.
Beacause I am greedy.
