From City Brew Tours, canned September 6th 2023.
It pours a clear pale gold with close to a finger of foam, excellent lacing.
The smell is tropical fruit, melon, grass, toasted malt? Hard to bring out.
The taste is tropical fruit, melon, grass, light malt sweetness, bitter to my palate. The finish leaves ME with an aspirin like bitterness. Not enjoyable.
Mouthfeel is slick, good carbonation.
Not something that I would want to drink again.

Had Fremont's Lush poured from 12-oz. can, bottom stamped "PKGD 02/21/23," brought from Cali. by lil' bro., into tulip pint.
Pours hazy light-gold, with 1-finger, creamy, near-white head, with excellent retention, leaving chunky lace down the glass. Floral, sweet citrus and berry aromas off pour, and continuing, joined by pineapple and melon, and also tart stone fruit and bitter herbals as warms. On tasting, begins sweet citrus and mild but definite malt, with pineapple, some sweet tropical melon and sharper stone fruit, before a piney, moderately bitter, but continuingly fruity and still noticeably malty, "Northwest IPA" finish.
A classic, balanced Northwest IPA.

Fremont Brewing 'Lush IPA' @ 7.0% , served from a 355 ml can
A-pour is a light gold from the can to a hazy gold in the glass with a small size white head leaving a spotty lace along the tulip
S-some citrus fruits , lemon zest
T-hop presence noticeable , but the malt stands out including the decent bitter swallow
MF-ok carbonation , feels full bodied
Ov-no wow factor

Canned 3/21/23
It’s been a minute, now it’s time to get back into the second BIF box woemad sent me. This one is just a straight forward IPA from Fremont, a brewery whose only other IPA I’ve had was not particularly amazing, but I’m hoping this one is good. It certainly fits the mood for this hot evening. Let’s get into it
Pours a cloudy yellow gold with 3 fingers of soapy off white head that slowly fades to a cap and leaves decent lacing
The nose is vibrant despite being an older can thankfully. I’m picking up on aromas of lemon zest, crackery malt, earthy hops, pithy grapefruit, dank weed, white pepper, and light cantaloupe
It goes for a softer tropical vibe in taste which works out nicely. On the front end of the sip I’m tasting underripe cantaloupe, mango, orange zest, bready malt, resinous hops, light grapefruit, and pineapple juice. The swallow brings notes of lemon zest, pineapple juice, crackery malt, pithy grapefruit, earthy hops, mango, and white pepper
A medium body pairs with gentle carbonation, resulting in a slick beer. Finishes a tad sticky but dries out over time
It’s nothing amazing, but damn solid and certainly better than the last IPA I had from them. Great for a hot day

Pours golden yellow with nice white crown in pint on draught at Yardhouse. On the nose it has beautiful floral and citrus lemon / orange notes laced with melon. Really nice IPA AT 7% ABV.
