Night Shift Brewing

 

Can from Colonial Spirits.
Hazy murky lemon yellow with a a good sized frothy white head that persists. Lemony spicy earthy citrus with bits of bread and light grass. Pretty good beer.

 

 

P- Poured from a 16 oz can,into a Cigar City spiegelau IPA glass.Date on the can is...Well duh.

L- Thick soapy white colored head,that stands 1 finger tall,with sticky lacing and good retention.Light hazy gold colored body,with low clarity and distorted light showing through the glass.Very heavy amount of carbonation.

S- On the nose I get bright citrus fruit hops tangerine and grapefruit.Some grainy notes with a hint of wheat.I also get some dank aromas with just a hint of floral hops.Lemongrass and citrus zest are present as well.

T- On the palate I get dank flavor,and some fermented tangerine up front.In the middle I get heavy notes of grain and wheat.On the back end I get bitter grapefruit and pine hops.Some lemongrass in there as well.

F- The mouth feel is medium bodied,with a slightly chalky texture.Heavy amount of oxidation on the tongue,with a moderately dry finish.

O- This is a very nice IPA.Out of all Night Shifts IPA's I have tried,this one is probably my favorite.I would drink this one all the time,if they didn't change the recipe every release.I would definitely recommend this one to any hop head.Grab it while it's still available!!!

Cloudy yellow-orange with a finger of airy bright white head that leaves solid lacing.

Soft tangerine, grapefruit pith and soap in the aroma.

Light orange juice in the taste, with some soap and pithy, piney bitterness in the finish.

Light bodied with a prickly feel and strong carbonation.

The Nelson sort of gets stepped on in this one. There's a little prickliness, but no white wine character. It's good, but not my favorite batch to date.

 

Canned 03/23/17, Batch 46, it pours cloudy bright orange color with a 2+ finger billowing bright white colored head that was packed with bubbles of all sizes, the head dissipating very, very slowly and leaving excellent spotty foamy lacing. The lace rings form as it drops and a layer stuck around on top for a fine looking brew.

Smells of lemon zest and wheat up front, followed by toasted grains, orange peel and grapefruit. The next wave is floral hops, musty grapes which almost seem barnyard like, grains and earthy notes. Kind of seems muted and more grainy than hoppy after a few sniffs.

Tastes like lemon, coriander, orange peel, pepper, wheat, dry grass, grapefruit, bread crust, hand soap and piney hops. It doesn't taste bad and all the fruity notes are nice for an IPA, but something is off. I can't pin it down but there's an odd taste here that is medicinal. The feel is fine but the aspirin taste doesn't do it for me.

Poured from a 16oz can into a Teku glass. Purchased at yankee spirits in attleboro.

Pours a deep amber body with a three finger frothy head that reduces to leave a layer of foam and substantial lacing.

Aromas are citrus, grapefruit, dank weed, grassy, resinous, fruity. Taste follows nose with a lightly bitter slightly burnt aftertaste. Easy drinker, medium carbonation and body.

I've drank 8 of these beers this week, and honestly I'd rather just go to the liquor store and buy this than drive to Trillium or Treehouse. This is great.

 

Golden straw hazy with thick head. Floral nose. Clean malt bill. Simple hopping- basic but good. Strong carbonation leaves a nice mouthfeel. Not one of their best morphs, but still a solid beer.

 

 

Golden yellow in color. Fairly hazy in appearance. Tangerine, papaya, orange rind, melon and white grapes. Pithy. Lower sweetness, decent amount of bitterness. Medium bodied. Nicely balanced. Dry finish. It's good.

 

Pours golden straw orange with nice white head with great lacing. Aroma light citra hops. Taste is boring. No real flavor at all. Really below average IPA. Big fan of night shift. Just not this beer
