Morph 9/8/16
Night Shift Brewing

Another of the morph series! Like the others, this one was huge on the juicy hop notes and I was very pleased to see what sorts of flavors Night Shift could get out of the hops without making the brew super boozy. Notes of tropical fruits, pine, lemon, and herbal pepperiness. Really curious flavors and ones that work surprisingly well together.

 

 

 

 

 

Hazy straw-colored pour. Like Whirlpool but thicker with more substance. Speaking of Whirlpool, this iteration of Morph would site nicely between it and Santilli. Small head that fizzles away. Smells a bit like mosaic hops but has a nice dose of pine and bitterness down the middle with a lemony kiss. Finishes crisp, albeit a tad bit watery, and there's a tartness at the backend. Great beer. Miss her already with the replacement 9/21 version making its way to distro.

 

 

 

 

 

Purchased at Gordon's in Boston, poured six days after canning. Amazing hazy pineapple juice appearance, smells zesty and citrus forward - excited already! The combination of Montueka, Simcoe and Topaz comes in hot but mellows out in the middle of the sip, ending with a tart and spicy finish. Amazingly pronounced for a 5.3% beer, reccomended.
