Night Shift Brewing

 Everett, MA (This is page 2. See pages 1 and 3. Page 1 has a description of the brewery itself.)

Night Shift Furth
Hefeweizen - 5.5% ABV
Pete
     This tasted more Belgian than German to me. Usually hefe's don't have all that much flavor, but this one has some hints of spice like I might expect from a saison.

Night Shift Fuzzy Suggestion
New England Pale Ale - 5.1% ABV
Pete
     Mellow, but somewhat citrusy and super drinkable. Definitely a good one to have a bunch of.

Night Shift Gentle Twist
Fruit Beer - 5.1% ABV
Pete
     Very light orangey beer. Pictured 2nd from the left. I like this a lot. The name of this reminded me of this. Enjoy.

Night Shift Gravitas
Imperial IPA - 10.5% ABV
Pete
     Smells extremely citrusy. The flavor is definitely there, but a bit more mellow, with boat loads of creaminess in the body. It hides the alcohol disturbingly well. If you want to get there fast, this is the beer for you. Also, if you just want to enjoy a delicious beer, can't go wrong.

Night Shift Guava Weisse
Berliner Weisse - 4.4% ABV
Pete
     Pictured 2nd from the right. Great sour. It's more salty than other sours from Night Shift, kind of becoming the dominant flavor, but that's OK, it works.

Night Shift Hamlet
Dark Sour - 9% ABV
Pete
     Outstanding beer. Sweet going down with a malty sour boozy finish (presumably the booze is from the wine barrels). I love this, but I am 100% sure that other people will hate it. Very niche style.

Night Shift Harborside 2017
Gose - 6% ABV
Pete
     This beer is sour going down, and I was actually tasting fruit loops in the aftertaste. That works for me. A lot.

Night Shift Harborside 2019
Gose - 5.5% ABV
Pete
     Pictured on the left. Sour brewed with oysters sounds weird, but it worked well. It's pretty salty and a little sweet to go along with subtle sourness.

Night Shift Haze Maze Batch #2
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV
Pete
     Pictured on the right. Sweet orange flavor makes it quite easy to drink. Not enough flavor to make it great, but it's a solid beer.

Night Shift Hidden Gem
Pale Ale - 5.5% ABV
Pete
     Pictured on the right. Nice citrusy flavors, but they're pretty mellow. This would be a good beer to drink from a pitcher with friends.

​Imperial Stout - 10.7% ABV
Pete
     Tons of caramel/toffee flavor in this one, and it hides the booze pretty well.

Night Shift Hypnotizer
Imperial IPA - 8.6% ABV
Pete
     Dangerous beer. Tasty IPA that finishes pretty dry, meaning it can be finished quickly. And it's strong (but doesn't taste it).

Milkshake IPA - 8.3% ABV

     This is pretty gross. Pretty bitter, and tons of vanilla, Not a good combo.

Night Shift It's Not A Trick, It's An Illusion
Imperial New England IPA - 8.1% ABV
Pete
     Smells super citrusy. The taste is somewhat mellow citrus with a creamy texture, and the finish is ultra piney. Great beer. Better reference.

Night Shift Keep Ya Hops Up
American IPA - 5.2% ABV
Pete
     Big fan of this one on the right. It looks like it's going to be a west coast IPA. It does have a little malty and a little bitter to it, but definitely leans toward the citrusy side. Really great balanced beer.

Night Shift Kehl
Zwickelbier - 4.6% ABV
Pete
     I'm not really sure what to do with this one. It's sweet maybe, and also spicy a little. It's OK.

Night Shift King Lear
Imperial IPA - 8.3% ABV
Pete
     Pictured 2nd from the left. Ton of Brett flavor, and definitely get hints of wine. Those two things kind of take over the imperial IPA base, but it's there in the background, making for an outstanding beer.

Night Shift Krusch
Kölsch - 4.9% ABV
Pete
     This is the beer I want to drink for drinking games. It's light but flavorful, meaning I can drink a lot of it pretty easily and enjoy it.

Night Shift Lifelong Vacation
Sour - 3.2% ABV
Pete
     Pictured on left. Way more flavorful than it looks. Medium sour with a salty aroma (though that doesn't really come through in the flavor). Low alcohol, but delicious.

Night Shift Lounge Act
Smoked Lager - 4.8% ABV
Pete
     Pictured in front. The pale lager base is a perfect vehicle for a smoked beer. This really highlights the smoke. Not much else. Fortunately, that's what I wanted.

Night Shift Lordeship
Belgian IPA - 5.6% ABV
Pete
     Belgian IPA sounds like it'd be right up my alley, and it usually is. This, however, is most definitely not. Weirdly funky, just not a good beer. Can't hit on every one.

Night Shift Lovejoy IPA
New England IPA - 6.9% ABV
Pete
     Pretty dry IPA that's pretty bitter. Was a bit surprised based on the NEIPA thing on the bitterness, but I like it. FWIW, this was originally Lovejoy Showdown IPA #4 (and won the contest).

Night Shift Lovejoy Showdown IPA #2
Brut IPA - 4.9% ABV
Pete
     Pictured 2nd from the left. A very easy to drink IPA with a dry finish. I could drink a bunch of these, but there isn't enough flavor to get me to order it more than once.

Night Shift Lovejoy Showdown IPA #3
​IPA - 5.5% ABV
Pete
     Pictured 2nd from the right. The best-looking of the 3 pictured Lovejoy beers. Smells super citrusy. The flavor is a little more mellow, but the citrus is still there before a fairly dry finish. I could drink a ton of these.

Sour - 5.5% ABV

     Very good sour. A hint of fruitiness from blueberries, but mostly sour.

Night Shift Macbeth
Saison - 5.7% ABV
Pete
     Pictured on the right. Unassuming looking, but man is there a ton of flavor in this one. Spicy saison flavor is at the forefront, but you also get some tart citrus and a wine-y aftertaste from the barrel aging. Maybe a touch of funk too from the Brett yeast. Outstanding beer.

     More sour than saison. Maybe a hint of the spiciness, but it's mostly sour with a touch of saltiness. Delicious

     Pretty solid saison. It's spicy with a little floral-ness to it. It also has a tiny hint of funk, or it least it seemed like it to me.

     Don't love this IPA, but it's drinkable. No obvious flavors to talk about, probably why I wasn't a huge fan.

Night Shift Morph #50
Session IPA - 4.5% ABV

     This looks like grapefruit juice, and it is a little thicker than you'd expect from an IPA. It's OK, but there was something off about it I couldn't pinpoint. Still, I'd drink it again.

     I hope Night Shift makes this a permanent fixture. Classic NEIPA flavors, dominated by mango, with an added hint of bitterness. Pictured on the left if you couldn't tell.

Coffee Stout - 7.5% ABV

     Tastes like coffee and chocolate. Not rich at all, which is weird for a stout. Makes this a super drinkable beer that tastes like coffee and chocolate. I'm not complaining.
