North Park Beer Company teamed up with Seattle’s Fast Fashion for Lounge Work, a DDH West Coast Pale Ale built for kicking back with your buds at the karaoke bar — and maybe even hitting the mic yourself if you’re feeling bold.
Appearance
Lounge Work pours a yellow gold hue topped with a thin, quick-dissipating head.
Aroma
North Park’s own tasting notes call out zesty lemon-lime, bright red berry, fresh-cut watermelon, and light orange blossom from the Motueka, New Zealand Cascade, and Anchovy hop blend.
Tasting Notes
Light and crushable, this one delivers clean citrus notes with a slightly dry finish and next to zero bitterness, letting the fruit character carry the whole show.
Mouthfeel & Drinkability
The dry finish and minimal bitterness make Lounge Work dangerously easy to sing another round to — a beer built for a whole night of encores.
Food Pairings
The lemon-lime, watermelon, and orange blossom character make this a great match for bright, casual bar food. Try it with:
- Watermelon and feta skewers – A direct echo of the beer’s watermelon notes.
- Citrus ceviche – Complements the beer’s zesty lemon-lime character.
- Grilled shrimp tacos – Light and easy, matching the beer’s crushability.
- Berry and orange fruit salad – Ties the red berry and orange blossom notes together.
Final Notes
Lounge Work is a light, zesty collaboration that earns its 4.4/5 by keeping things fun, easy, and endlessly drinkable. Who’s hitting the mic next?
Let us know if you’ve sung a few rounds with this one.
