Night Shift One Hop Double Time: Citra
Imperial IPA - 8% ABV Pete Pictured on the left. One of the best IPA's I've had from Night Shift. Very light body, but definitely not light in flavor. Citrusy going down with a resinous finish. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift One Hop This Time: Amarillo
IPA - 6% ABV Pete A little citrusy IPA but not quite enough flavor to write home about. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift One Hop This Time: Citra
IPA - 6% ABV Pete This is a very drinkable IPA with obvious citrus flavor/aroma from the hops. It's delicious. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift One Hop This Time: Ella
IPA - 6% ABV Pete Very light-bodied IPA with piney flavor going down and a hint of citrus in the finish that lasts for awhile. Pretty good beer. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift One Hop This Time: Mosaic
IPA - 6% ABV Pete Pictured on the right. Based on how good this beer is, it appears I love mosaic hops. Noted. It's the right color for a bright citrusy IPA, and it delivers. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift One Hop This Time: Simcoe
IPA - 6% ABV Pete Really, really good IPA. Apparently I like simcoe hops. Super citrusy both in the smell and the taste. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift One Hop This Time: Vic Secret
IPA - 6% ABV Pete Pretty darn good clean, smooth IPA that leans to the dank side of things. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Out of Darkness
Imperial Porter - 8.7% ABV Pete Pictured 2nd from the top. It tastes like licorice. I don't like licorice, therefore I don't like this. It's probably good if you like that. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Parlor Trick: Black Raspberry Sherbet
Sour - 7.7% ABV Pete Exactly as billed. It tastes like raspberry sherbet and has the thick body to match. The balance of tartness and sweetness is perfection. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Passion Weisse
Sour - 5% ABV Pete Good sour beer that has a hint of salty and fruity behind a pretty obvious sour flavor. As with most fruity beers, I couldn't really tell what kind of fruit was in it just by the taste. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Playin' Hooky
New England IPA - 6.9% ABV Pete Nice beer. It's resinous and bitter, but a citrus pith kind of bitter, not an overbearing bitter hop flavor. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Pomona Weisse
Sour - 5% ABV Pete Decent sour beer. To me, it tasted a little overly salty. No one else who had it with me thought that though, so take that as you will. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Retro Fitter
Brown Ale - 7.1% ABV Pete Pictured front right. Nice and toasty flavor, with a bit of creaminess you might expect from a porter. It's kind of combines the brown (flavor) and porter (body) styles. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Rickey Weisse
Sour - 4.7% ABV Pete Damn good sour with a nice hint of raspberry flavor. It's pretty up there in sourness but the raspberry balances it well. I could taste the lime too, but I really had to think about it to recognize it. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Santilli
IPA - 6% ABV Pete Pretty good citrusy IPA, but it's a bit too bitter for my tastes. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Saturday Night/Sunday Morning
Brut IPA - 4.5% ABV Pete Excellent beer. Pictured on the right. Had a bunch of Brut's in one day at NS, and this was definitely the best of the bunch. Dry, super crisp IPA, exactly what the style is supposed to be. Maybe a little less carbonation than the others, but still more than your average beer. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Saturn's Son
Dark Saison - 6.4% ABV Pete Pictured on the right. The obvious flavor is from the Brett yeast, with some subtle spice and fruitiness underneath. If I closed my eyes, I wouldn't be able to tell this was dark. Still a great beer, just doesn't taste anything like it looks. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Schwarz Skirt / Long Jacket
Schwarzbier - 4.5% ABV Pete Pictured on the left. I wanted this to be more smokey, but there's definitely some smoke there and its light body makes it pretty drinkable. A bit of a stretch to turn "Schwarz" into "Short" for the word play, but you can't win em all. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Shark Jumper
Session IPA - 4.3% ABV Pete Extremely citrusy IPA. Makes it incredibly easy to drink. That said, it's so citrusy, I'm not sure I'd want more than 2 (at least not in a row) unless I was drinking outside. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Soft Synergies
New England IPA - 7.1% ABV Pete This is the first Night Shift beer I've had (out of 114 tried) that absolutely nails everything I hope for in a NEIPA. Super citrusy, with mango as the dominant flavor, and no noticeable bitterness. Really well done. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Sorry, Tomorrow
English Barleywine - 8.9% ABV Pete Raisin up front with a backbone of malty booze. Definitely a sipper. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Storm & Drive
Schwarzbier - 5.3% ABV Pete This is just a good clean dunkel. It's easy to drink with a hint of maltiness. I was hoping for some smoky flavor, but that wasn't there. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Stout's Honor
American Imperial Stout - 12.3% ABV Pete Pretty sweet, pretty boozy stout that finishes pretty coconut-y, a little too much so for me. If you like coconut and sweet boozy stouts, this is a winner for you. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Subsolar
IPA - 5.9% ABV Pete A little peppery, and pretty dank flavor. Not my favorite IPA in the world. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Sunset Chaser
Pale Ale - 4.6% ABV Pete Pictured on the left. A collaboration with Devil's Purse Brewing Company. It's quite mellow, with some citrus flavors in there if you think about it. Very crushable, best suited for outdoor day drinking. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Swell
IPA - 7.1% ABV Pete Awesome IPA with tons of citrus flavor and aroma. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Syrinx
Stout - 5.4% ABV Pete Pictured on right. It's creamy and a little nutty but still pretty drinkable. Definitely not a blast of flavor, but what's there is good. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Taurus Season
West Coast IPA - 6.1% ABV Pete Nails the style. Piney and fairly bitter, but not overwhelming. Really good. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift The 87
Imperial IPA - 8% ABV Pete Just a damn good IPA. Nice and hoppy, but it's not as bitter as you'd expect from an imperial. Mostly citrus flavors. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift The Price Is Wrong
Imperial Stout - 10% ABV Pete Collaboration with Mast Landing. I definitely get the grape flavor, and the chocolate-y-ness of an imperial stout, but it comes off as a touch too boozy. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Thievery
Pale Ale - 4.9% ABV Pete Amazing pale ale, just a massive blast of citrus right in your face. If this becomes a full-time beer, it could become my go-to, that's how good it is. Ratings: Pete - 7 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Throwback: Belafonte
Saison - 5.6% ABV Pete I don't really get either the orange or the pink peppercorn flavors. It's fine, just not a ton of flavor to it. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Timber!
Pale Ale - 5.5% ABV Pete Awesome piney pale ale with a blast of citrus. Extremely easy to drink. Definitely could choose to drink this all day. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Time Lapse
New England IPA - 7.7% ABV Pete Pictured on the left. Nice and fruity without being sweet, as a NEIPA should be. It doesn't have the hazy/creamy feel of most of the style, but the flavor is quite good. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Total Consciousness
New England IPA - 5.8% ABV Pete Some mellow hoppy citrus flavors. Pretty easy drinker. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Traffic Cone
New England IPA - 6.7% ABV Pete Halfway between an IPA and a wit. Refreshing and super orange-y. Easy drinker. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Trifecta
Belgian Pale Ale - 6.7% ABV Pete This is an extremely Belgian-tasting beer, which I love. Really easy to drink with some good spiciness from the Belgian yeast. I didn't really taste vanilla as was advertised, but it didn't really need it. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Turn Back Time
Baltic Porter - 7.5% ABV Pete I love this. Light/medium body - pretty drinkable for a dark beer. The flavor is chocolate and cherry with a hint of fig. A little bit sweet but definitely not too much. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Victory Lap
Porter - 5.9% ABV Pete Delicious rich caramel beer with some hints of other flavors (chocolate for one). It's extremely sweet, almost like a dessert, so be prepared. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Virgil
Doppelbock - 7.4% ABV Pete Pictured on the right. Collaboration with Lamplighter. Quite good. Dark and mysterious. Not exactly heavy or crazy rich. Just some good roasty flavor and some other stuff going on that I'm not sophisticated enough to pinpoint. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Viva Habanera
Rye Ale - 5.9% ABV Pete Pictured on the right. Pretty good throat burn on this guy. It's not CRAZY hot, but peppery is really all that's there. Maybe a little sweetness going down. Maybe. Hard to drink. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Walk The Dinosaur
American Pale Ale - 6.4% ABV Pete Pretty solid hoppy beer with a little bit of a funky edge to it. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Warm & Fuzzies
Stout - 5.3% ABV Pete A lot of nice roasted malty flavor - making this nice and nutty. The body is actually pretty light - this actually feels like more of a brown or porter than a stout, but it's very good. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Whirlpool
Pale Ale - 4.5% ABV Pete Really outstanding pale ale. It's got a ton of hoppy flavor, but isn't very bitter at all. I could drink these all day (at 4.5%, I think that's the goal). Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Wide Awake
Imperial Coffee Stout - 8.1% ABV Pete Super toasty flavor. Slightly bitter coffee with a hint of chocolate. Love this. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Willow
Belgian Witbier - 5% ABV Pete Pretty mellow refreshing wit. On the mild side for the style. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Woolf
Saison - 4.2% ABV Pete Pictured 2nd from the right. Not a ton of flavor in it, maybe a little bit of peppery-ness. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift World Tour
Brut IPA - 4% ABV Pete Dry straw-like flavor. Pretty good, and low alcohol means you could drink a ton of these. Pictured bottom left. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift You'll Shoot Your Rye Out
Rye Porter - 6.3% ABV Pete Didn't really get any of the rye here, which was disappointing. It's not bad, kind of just like a fairly generic brown ale. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Night Shift Zou Bisou Bisou
Fruit Beer - 5.3% ABV Pete Not very much flavor, and extremely light. Not worth it. Ratings: Pete - 2 Shyoh's |
