This is an IPA I've really been looking forward to try.
I first heard of Night Shift while checking out a bottle shop near Trillium Brewing Co. in Boston, MA. I regret not picking up a couple of cans while I was there, but to be fair I had just spend about $80 on Trillium beer that day. Happy that when my friends Matt and Tim went up to Boston not too long ago for PAX East that they were able to bring me back a can of this and Night Shift Morph.
Santilli pours a mellow yellow with a white head. Carbonation is visible. It's a little hazy, but not the orange juice density of some other IPAs I've had.
On the nose, Santilli is floral and grassy, a bit of citrusy/peachy/slightly tropical back notes.
On first taste, there is, as in the nose, a lot of floral and grassy notes. Clean, dry, bitter, hoppy finish. Not a lot of fruit. A touch, maybe of orange-y sweetnesss, but not a ton - it's definitely in the background. Moderate carbonation. Smooth.
Overall a decent beer. Not my favorite, but still above average.
Rating: 7.3/10
