Night Shift Brewing

 

Picked-up a four-pack of cans recently at Bradford's in Plymouth for about fourteen dollars. My nineteenth brew from these guys. Very solid beer, would get again.

Canned 8/18/20

I happened to be near Everett a day last month and I decided to pick some stuff up for my friends birthday (and myself). This was a one off beer for them so I figured it was worth a shot

Pours a cloudy pale orange with 3 fingers of off white head that slowly fades to a cap and leaves plenty of lacing

Lots of candied orange and peach in the nose here, some pithy grapefruit, soft malt, and grassy hops

A nice amount of hop bitterness to start off the sip, but still brightly juicy with notes of mango and tangerine. On the swallow, more fruit flavors of melon and orange develop, leading to a sweet finish

A soft medium body on par with the style matches well with slightly more assertive carbonation than usual, leading to a refreshing beer even for a cold night. Finishes just short of dry and coats the mouth

This is pretty solid stuff, unsurprising for Night Shift. In the grand scheme of NEIPAs, it’s nothing spectacular, but it’s damn solid nonetheless

 

Can. Eye-catching can art. Don't really even enjoy the art, just sucks in your eyes. Beer pours about a 6.5/10 on the haze scale. Light penetrates the edges; it isn't opaque. The center of the beer is pretty translucent, though. Mild head but it leaves a lot of lacing. Nose doesn't jump. What the nose presents is very standard for the style. A little musty, mostly fruit-juicy. Checks the boxes but not emphatically. Flavor is better than the nose. Sweeter, and the hops are more indulgent. Mostly a medley of blended citrus fruits. Some creaminess. Soft mouthfeel. Light carb. Lighter bitterness. Drinkable for the style. Pretty ho-hum. Fresh, though. Just another brick in the wall of New England IPAs.
