Explosively juicy, Whirlpool is Night Shift's flagship New England pale ale. It pours hazy blonde with a nose of ripe peach and clementine, and sips citrusy and vibrant. With minimal bitterness on the finish, it's a remarkably crushable sipper.

Can into a snifter showing hazy neon yellow with sparse white foam. The nose shows light notes of lemon with a light malt backbone. The palate is light bodied and highly carbonated. Flavors of lime, orange, and moderately intense citrus. Barely any bitterness. Simple but refreshing.

Shared 16 oz. can. Cloudy orange color with a white head. Aroma of citrus, peach, and mild pine. Taste follows nose. Lots of flavor for such a low ABV. Very drinkable. Quite nice.

Tallboy can shared at the 10th Annual Epic & Unusual Beer Tasting, 11/29/15. Hazy yellow, thin fizzy tan head, decent retention. Aroma of wheat, spice, dry citrus. The taste matches. Medium bodied, mild lingering spice, clean.

Tap at the source. It pours cloudy light gold with a thick white head. The nose is soft, juicy tropical fruits, passion fruit, mango, tangerine and hay. The taste is very crisp, dry, bitter, juicy passion fruit, white peach, light grapefruit, touch of minerals with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Very good balance and highly drinkable. Very nice.

Can thanks to Team Boston. Pours a cloudy orange gold with frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is citrus, tropical fruit, pine. Thin mouth, citrus, pine, crushable, really good.

Many thanks to Rian for sharing. Very nice and fresh hops in the beginning. Easy to drink, fresh. Nice not too sweet body, but still round and nice. Fresh hops, citrus, greens, a bit weak in body, but great hop profile and easy to drink.

Can - thanks Brian! Pours hazy yellow with a medium white head that dissipates fairly quickly with good lacing. Aroma is citrus, mango, guava, peach, lime, melon, dank notes. Flavor is lightly sweet and light bitter, juicy, fruity. Just a tad harsh perhaps. Medium light body.

Poured from a can dated 01/20/2015. Aroma is dominated by hops. Medium citrus with boatloads of stone fruit and lighter tropical fruit. Faint, pale malt note in the background. Pours a very, cloudy, pale, yellow straw color with a moderately sized, medium thick, white head that exhibits decent retention and nice lacing. Aroma is slightly sweet with moderate bitterness and faint malt notes. Moderate hop flavors of citrus, peach and pineapple, but not as vibrant as in the aroma. A little more malt and hops as it warms. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied and a but watery with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice very hoppy beer. I am usually the last person to want malt in my hoppy beers, but this one needs just a bit more malt character to add body and a bit of flavor.
