It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s the Dark Heron IPA from Fremont Brewing, here to rescue humanity from the bland beer doldrums! Dark Heron lets loose a boredom-defying, resinous-tropical-spice flavor explosion of hop mastery by assembling a superteam of cutting-edge hops from around the world.

Dark Heron swoops in with an expertly-blended hop trio: American Experimental Hops HBC 438 infuse notes of peach, candied mango, and subtle pine resin, Nelson Sauvin Hops from New Zealand add hints of fresh crushed gooseberry and grape, and Huell Melon Hops from Germany balance out the complex IPA with flavors of juicy honeydew melon and strawberry jam. With an earthy, floral aroma and a musky vanilla mouthfeel from a blast of oats, Dark Heron leaves the palate with a crisp dry finish.

The Official Beer of Seattle’s Emerald City Comicon, Dark Heron IPA is a rarely-spotted superhero of hops that only comes out once a year -- it’s Fremont Brewing’s beacon to craft lovers ready to experience the expressive power of innovative hops!
