Profile
Fremont Brewing is a family owned craft operation that opened its doors in 2009 and has been dedicated to small-batch artisanal beers ever since. Matt Lincecum and Sara Nelson founded Fremont on the idea of creating a delicious, homey brewery that focused on sustainable practices and community building. Fremont is a part of the Washington Brewers Guild and promotes craft brewing across the state. What started as a small operation has grown into two full-time brewing facilities on the East and West of Fremont, pumping out a combined 110 barrel line that keeps six year-round beers on the slate, along with a rotating IPA series and a boat-load of special releases. The Lush IPA is a West Coast-style IPA with big, lush tropical fruit flavors of lime, mango, and guava. Serves well at 8°C and should be enjoyed right away.
Look
Pours a light yellow colour with a clear body and low carbonation. A frothy head of foam, three fingers deep, rests on top of the pour.
Smell
The primary aroma you’ll discover is the muddle tropical fruit, coming together into one sweet harmony wearing a citrus zest hat. There’s a sniff of floral hops way in the background, but it’s hard to track.
Taste
There’s a great balancing act happening here between the light, fruity flavour that muddles together, and the hops that show you pine and floral flavours. Nothing is overpowering anything else and the taste turns slightly sweet on the tongue. The body is smooth and light, finishing up smooth and leaving behind a hint of sweet fruit.
Pairing
A great pairing with anything off the pub menu or any cheese platter that’s got variety.
