Legend has it if a craft beer enthusiast visits Seattle and doesn’t drink an IPA from Fremont Brewing the power of Washington rain will wash them out of the state for all of eternity.

Our pick for best reason to taste the Evergreen state this season is Fremont’s new Lush IPA. Placed in RateBeer’s Top 100 Brewers in the World, Fremont has won awards and medals from practically every stage. They have a long list of legendary IPAs but Lush IPA is on-track to becoming one of their most loved and best rated to date!

Lush IPA is a bright orange, sweet tropical storm of juicy hop madness. Heaps of Citra and Mosaic bring cantaloupe and orange spice to the nose. Red mangos, pomegranates, and tangy pineapples flow freely past a dash-of-pepper down the palate. Honey malts coax the fruit into fading in a nectarous hop-candy finish.

Not just for tourist’s tastebuds, this was our first time trying this new hop sensation and we’re super excited about it! Fremont nailed it with the title-- this overflowingly fruity IPA is the epitome of Lush.
