    Really, really like Morph. Don't care for Whirlpool. And I have no idea why.

    By "too" you mean you're already in line? )

    @masterob8 I think the general consensus from this thread is this batch of Morph needs more pumpkin-peach. #MacroBrewed

    That's a good description for what I was tasting. FWIW, I let the last Morph can I had sit out for a good 30 minutes before cracking it open. It was by far the best tasting of the bunch, I got really nice malty notes, much much less of the off putting bitterness I ran into.

    I find the latest two batches of morph to be closest to each other, and from reading here it is obviously by design. I think it has been a fun series and if NS is honing in on a finished product and this is it, I will be buying. With that said, most people have complained about the appearance of previous batches, and one of the earlier ones was certainly interestingly murky. For me the best batch, despite the appearance, was the November one I believe. It may have been less refined, but it had the juicy/citrusy tones that are so fashionable these days. Other than the one buttery batch that was a drain pour, this has been fun and enjoyable, for me at least.

    Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

    per a post on the NS Facebook, they are pouring $15 pitchers of Whirlpool and Embark at their taproom... way cheaper than any bars!

    Besides the brewery, where could I procure some Morph today?

    It's a long list, but give a call to somewhere local to you and hopefully some will be available: http://www.nightshiftbrewing.com/find-nsb/

    I had a Morph stamped with a 2/20 date last night. Anyone know the ABV on this batch or any other details? The Night Shift site doesn't have it listed.

    If you're near Oak Square in Brighton, I just saw some at Brighton Gourmet and Cellar on Washington St.

    Curious about the ABV on the 2/20 batch. It was very tasty. If I had to guess it was around $5. My four pack didn't last very long in my fridge.

    The 2/20 batch was 5.4%. Sorry for slacking on updating the website. We try to keep the On Tap page up to date daily but sometimes the Morph page slips.

    As @MattOC mentioned our website is pretty up to date with a list of accounts. I would give places a call to check if they still have cans left.

    Next batch of Morph and Whirlpool are being canned 3/10.

    The 3/26 batch is quite tasty.

    3/10 batch is definitely the best so far!

    3/10 batch was my first time having morph and I guessed I lucked out…truly amazing stuff!

    Hah, 3/10 was probably one of my least favorite. Not that it was bad at all, just not really to my taste.

    Just picked up the 3/26 tonight. Curious as always to give it a try.
