Frank the Tank

Tap to rate

Frank the Tank is one of the earliest Bullhouse recipes and still a fixture of the range. The hazy IPA is built around Mosaic, which brings juicy berry flavours together with stone fruit and a touch of citrus. The house yeast blend adds further fruit and keeps the texture smooth and thick. It finishes soft and juicy, with the berry note of the hop present throughout.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
