16 oz can into a Teku glass.
Pours a hazy bright orange color with 2 fingers of fluffy white head. Good retention. Leaves a ton of sticky cobwebs as it settles into a thick blanket of foam.
The aroma brings a fair amount of orange juice, grapefruit, and orange rind followed by a touch of pineapple. The wheat grist is very strong with this one. Very grainy.
The flavor is definitely quite citrusy, bringing notes of fresh oranges, orange creamsicle, grapefruit, and orange and lemon zest. Pretty straightforward but it comes as advertised.
The feel is medium bodied with low carbonation. Exceptionally soft and creamy. Goes down smooth.
Overall, this is definitely a great NEIPA that's exploding with citrus flavor. It's not terribly well-balanced but it's still a damn good beer.

Canned 6/10/20
As always, I pick up any Night Shift brews that I haven’t tried before when I see them at the liquor store. I love these guys
Pours a completely hazed out opaque yellow with 2+ fingers of off white head that slowly fades to a cap and leaves nice lacing
Huge nose with predominantly orange and vanilla. Piney, resiny hops balance out a delicately sweet malt with subtle notes of lemon and pear
On the front end, this is quitr the juice bomb. Tons of soft orange and pineapple. Midway through, this turns actually a touch spicy with earthy, citrus hops. The addition of orange peel in the brewing process definitely shines through in the end, feeling very raw and authentic with sweet malt to support it
This has a medium body and light, prickly carbonation. Drinks about right for the abv, but not quite dry enough for my tastes
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Night Shift brewed another winning IPA. Always ready for whatever they throw out there, and this was a great representation of the style, showing the beautiful balance between fruit and hop
