Night Shift Brewing

Poured from a can dated 9/27/21
Yellow cloudy color, 1 inch soft head, medium lacing and cap retention

Aroma of stone fruit, sour citrus and a hint of floral.

Taste is floral and guava like, notes of grapefruit and rind

Mouthfeel is slightly astringent, low carbonation, feels semi thick but drinks light. Lingering citrus bite finish

Overall not a bad beer, nice hop profile and fairly easy drinking.

It really does seem like there's a new Night Shift brew every time I go to the liquor store, so kudos to their team and distro

Pours a very cloudy orange gold with a finger of soapy white head that pretty quickly recedes to a ring, minimal lacing

The first thing I get in the nose is sweet melon, backed with soft orange juice, blueberry, and grapefruit. Light bready malts, very tropical all together

The hops come out way more here than I expected right off the bat. Big and juicy, the hops are tropical fruity and oily bitter. Mid palate sees a hint of peppery spice before finishing slightly bitter, subtle grapefruit

Pretty soft carbonation, on par for the style, but sadly finishes a little watery despite the bitterness in the finish

This one was kinda up and down, but at the very least, it's an easy drinking NEIPA. Would probably be better suited as a compliment to a meal

Well thank you Craig! You delivered a truly delicious and easy to drink New England IPA. It has a nice citrusy color with sweet aromas of summer style citrus fruits. Not too heavy like traditional IPAs, so you can enjoy a few at the baseball field comfortably! A nice after taste really tops off the smooth drinkability of this beer. Great work Craig!

16oz can dated 3/12/20.

Pours hazy yellow with a short-lived head of white. Minimal retention with zero lacing. Hard peaches, grapefruit, and pear skins in the nose. Medium bodied with thinnish, limp mouthfeel. Grapefruit with pithy citrus on the palate. Zero malt with a fairly big bitterness. Finishes with a chaulky dryness, citrus skins, and lingering bitterness.

 

 

Poured 4/9/20 into a tulip glass from a can dated 3/10/20, light straw gold, no head or lacing, 5.8% alc.
Delicate citrus, hint of fragrant herbs thanks to the Citra and Simcoe hops
Taste is citrus bitterness that lingers and fades. Slight grapefruit and general citrusy
Nice carbonation, light bodied, evident pilsner type malt, smooth, hint of soapiness, however
Not Night Shift's best examples, but an interesting change. Completely misnamed as an "-ator", this is definitely not a double bock. It is a good IPA, for Spring/Summer. I think something could be tweaked with the hops to improve the balance and really make this one great.

 

 

 

16 oz can from connecticutpoet
canned 4/15/19
Rogue thin-walled IPA glass

Super hazy and juicy with a creamy head of 1/2 finger.

I'm getting arm pit and stone fruit on the nose in that order, with slight moldy grain. Acidic citrus.

Flavor brings delicious pine and juicy peach, with some nectarine, tangerine, and grapefruit. Everything here plays nicely.

Acidic on the palate with a nice juicy creaminess with a moderate carbonation and moderate warming alcohol.

Overall, a peach of a beer, and I mean that literally. Very nice stuff. Would have again.
