Head First
Ripe mango, melon and peach, with fruity sweetness balanced by a medium bitterness: a clear tropical IPA at just 4.5%. Idaho-7, Simcoe, El Dorado and Azacca are the hops, barley malt, spelt malt and oats the grain bill. Head First belongs to Frontaal's core range, and the brewery recommends serving it at 6 °C.
