Interurban IPA

Tap to rate

Fremont's flagship IPA — named after Fremont's famous public sculpture, this one leans into chinook, centennial and amarillo hops for a citrusy, resinous punch over a clean malt base. Eminently drinkable for an IPA this hop-forward.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with snappy bitterness that integrates seamlessly with the citrus-driven hop profile. Mid-palate reveals layers of orange zest and resin balanced by a clean, malty sweetness that prevents astringency. The finish builds gradually, with hop character persisting through the swallow without harshness.

Tulip glass

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