Orchard Street is our liquified sonnet blubbering about our love for the farmers that put in the extra effort to grow exceptional Amarillo hops every year. An all Pilsner malt and oat grist-bill paves a smooth road for the best Amarillo hops we can find; giving it big notes of ruby red grapefruit, pink starburst, watermelon rind, and a tidal wave of freshly juiced peaches. Our aromatic house yeast stacks on even more fruity and juicy hop esters, providing a silky body, and aids in turning this hop bomb into an absolute juice bomb. The intensity of overripe peaches and freshly picked citrus alongside its opaque appearance only makes Orchard Street that much more easily confused with a glass of Kerns. Orchard Street is an IPA that is as versatile as it is delicious; perfect for any night at the pub or as part of your balanced breakfast.

Pours a hazy ipa style yellow and gold. Good 3/4" white head, dense, good retention. Did everything appearance wise good except for picking an ugly beer style to be.
The aroma is fitting of the titular namesake. It does smell like Orchard Street up in here. Orchard Grove something baby. I have to imagine that we're talking about Amarillo and/or Citra hops here, Its all about that citrus orchard. I guess neomexicanus is a possibility to round out the non grapefruit citrus (lemon/lime) orchard aspect.
The taste is one of those Fieldwork bangers that keep you coming back. Its nice because its absolutely what it says it is, orchard street. Is Amarillo underutilized these days? This beer makes me think so, but go on with your bad self. The alternating hits of orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit, lychee, tangerine are like a longer lasting fruit stripe gum. I really thought this was a very good hoppy beer. Would love to try a west coast ipa interpretation of this hop bill.

Tropical citrus nose and aromatics on this one. This had a bitter hoppy bite with grapefruit sour notes that left a bit of an aftertaste on the swallow. Had an almost nutty finish to it...but great depth and feel for a single

L: Hazy & cloudy yellow/dirty straw, thick inch head, low retention, lots of thick lacing.
S: White peaches with some citrus fruit & peel. Bright, sweet, and juicy.
T: Follows the aroma on the fruit profile and juiciness, zesty with just a slight bit of grassy/herbal flavor to complement.
F: Smooth, low carbonation, low bitterness, a bit lighter in body but still has that creamy NEIPA feel.
O: Nice easy hazy, great representation of the juicy profile of Amarillo hops.

L: Hazy bright yellow in color. Little head formation with little lacing.
S: Florally with aromas of pine, citrus, grass and mango.
T: Super citrusy, which is not surprising given the name. Lemon and orange forward, with additional flavors of pineapple, nectarine and papaya. Grassy finish with low bitterness. Citrus lingers in aftertaste.
F: Light in body but seemingly heavier in weight given the body. Low bitterness, no abv presence.
O: An enjoyable offerings. Tasty and with a low abv, I dig it. I am very glad to have tried. Cheers!
