Nightshift

◎ Appearance

Deep garnet-brown to near-black under light, with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent tan head. Carbonation is moderate and even, creating steady streams of fine bubbles that maintain good lacing on the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with earthy pine and citrus zest from the US hop selection, layered over complex notes of dark chocolate and dried stone fruits. A subtle roasted character from the late-added black malt provides depth without harshness, while the clean fermentation allows each element to remain distinct.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with bright citrus and resinous pine bitterness, balanced by rich chocolate and subtle berry notes that develop through the mid-palate. At 4.5% ABV, the body remains light and refreshing despite the complex malt profile, with the 60 IBUs providing a clean, measured bitterness that doesn't dominate.

◑ Finish

A dry, lingering finish with persistent pine and citrus notes fading gradually. The aftertaste remains crisp and inviting, encouraging another sip.
