Homefront IPA is brewed to honor our veterans as they return home from duty. It was conceived by MLB pitcher Chris Ray and brewed last year with Fremont Brewing. We at Perennial are very excited and honored to be a part of brewing this year’s batch. Homefront IPA is brewed with oranges and aged on Louisville Slugger bats. Operation Homefront provides financial assistance to the families of our service members and proceeds from the sale of this beer will be donated to Operation Homefront.

On tap @ Perennial during RBSG. Pours a touch hazy golden orange appearance with a lasting off white head. Aroma has oranges, tangerine, wood, and some flowers. The wood isn’t that overly powerful in the flavor but is present. Citrus, moderate bitterness, and some floral notes. Ok.

750mL bottle pours slightly hazy deep gold with loose light tan head. The aroma offers up citrus like tangelo notes that quickly get resiny with wood sap spiciness. The taste is similar with a nice citrusy orange to tangelo sensation and then leading into more and more bitterness with resiny wood spicy notes. The malts that sweeten up the citrus and the spicy wood are in good balance and make for a pleasingly bitter experience.

750 from Friar Tucks in O’Fallon. Pours a cloudy orange with a big frothy head (too big in my view since filling a glass is 2/3 foam and 1/3 beer.). Aromas are herbal and almost medicinal with a pine edge to them and a little bit of orange peel. The herbal/medicinal edge seems to dissipate a bit as it warms, however, and the flavor is a pleasant enough mix of oranges and other citrus with pine and a little papaya or something vaguely tropical. There is a little bit of a grainy edge that is almost creamy and not quite right... It’s not bad, but could be a little ’fresher’ and more crisp.

Capped 750 from Wine& Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours hazy light amber with a creamy off-white head. Mild citrus over caramel for aroma. Med +body. It’s quite citrus. Almost zest. Maybe more than almost. The caramel is in the background. It’s quite bitter, and there’s an oaky astringency. Finishes quite bitter. Nice IPA from the folks in the East.
