A Note on This Beer
If you’ve looked at a list of the top rated beer in WA, you know Fremont Brewing dominates the top 20. Beloved by the Seattle beer community, Fremont uses their position of leadership in the scene to give back. Partnering with other big name breweries across the country including Cigar City and Stone Brewing, Fremont creates the tropical and woody Homefront IPA to honor and support America’s troops.
Released every Memorial Day, Homefront is a summery-take on the IPA style. A big dose of tropically-flavored Equinox Hops mingles with a touch of white wheat from local Skagit Valley Malting. Then Fremont has some fun--they condition this Special Edition IPA on genuine Louisville Slugger maple baseball bats, that adds a touch of woody complexity.
Sunshine gold in color, Homefront’s aroma is lush with notes of dank unripe mango. The crisp wheat compliments tropical notes of papaya, passion fruit, grapefruit rind and green pepper. Maple adds to the woody resin of the hop character with a lingering bitterness. With big fruit character and a splash of bitter, Homefront IPA is ready for any patio party.
Fremont’s Interurban IPA and Summer Ale are hoppy staples for WA craft beer lovers, and Homefront provides the same hop mastery, with an extra hint of woody spice. Giving back is easy when it involves drinking this exceptional WA beer.
