Gear Up IPA, a Northwest-Style IPA with an ultra-tropical hop profile. From the recipe to the can artwork, every element of Gear Up IPA is meant to celebrate the majestic region HUB calls home. The beer is brewed with organic malted barley from Oregon, naturally filtered water from the Bull Run Watershed, and local hops from Oregon and Washington. The label portrays abstract landscapes of the Pacific Northwest sprinkled with images of the gear required to get outside and explore the natural world.

On tap at VCBW Festival 2016, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is quite bitter, with lots of resinous hops, bitter piney notes and light tropical fruits. Flavour is fruity and bitter, with lots of tropical fruits, bitter grassy hops, and a fairly pronounced astringency. Bright, bitter and well-balanced. Quite nice.

Draft pour pint at Special Brews. Pours a cloudy pale golden color with a thin fizz head. Inviting hop aroma. Flavor is fruity hops, with a clean, low bitter finish. Easy IPA here. If I did end up with a 6 pack of HUB’s first foray, I’d be very much okay with it. Tropical late linger. Good IPA overall.
