Another batch of Night Shifts rotating Presidential Double IPA series!
Style: DIPA
Container: 16oz Can

Rating: 3.75/5
Nerdsense – Episode 92 – Nerdsense Drinks Vol. 8
Yeah Yeah…We know, we haven’t put out a REAL episode since #88. Life got in the way for both Mike and I which caused us to not be able to record an actual podcast. We were able to get some beer reviews recorded so those will be coming regularly as usual.
While on the topic of beer reviews…this is another Drinks Volume. This could be considered the Chicago episode. This collects two reviews from Chicago based breweries Pipeworks Brewing Company and Arcade Brewery!
This collects Episode 15 – Pipeworks Ninja vs Unicorn Double IPA and Episode 27 – Arcade Grapefruit IPA
Style: Double India Pale Ale
Container: 16oz Tall Boy
Glassware: Firestone Walker Tulip and Spiegelau Tulip
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 4.5/5
Notes: Look: Filtered golden hue with nice white lacing
Nose: Orange citrus, spicy pine. Cotton Candy sweetness Taste:sweet malt at the front with the hops at the back that keeps it balanced
Style: Grapefruit IPA
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Tulips
Notes: (From Website) Arcade Brewery has crafted this very sessionable IPA featuring citrus hop aroma and the addition of grapefruit; creating an awesome balance between hop bitterness and the citrus bite. A fine balancing act of biscuit malts allows a long hop finish wont fatigue taste buds; allowing the second pint to build off the first. An immensely sessionable ale, [the] Grapefruit IPA will win over all drinkers and give IPA lovers a new take on the incredibly popular style.

Nerdsense – Episode 91 Nerdsense Drinks Vol. 7
Another installment of Nerdsense Drinks this week because…well sometimes being adult is hard. In this weeks installment we collect 2 Trillium Reviews. We have our review from Episode 23, Trillium Citra Dry Hopped Free Rise and Episode 34, Double Dry Hopped Melcher Street! Don’t forget to check out the original videos if you dig the audio!
Style: Farmhouse Saison
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Flute and Tulip
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 4.25/5
Notes: (From the website) This special edition of Free Rise, one of our signature farmhouse ales, highlights locally sourced Danko Rye from Valley Malt and Citra in the dry hop. A floral, citrus hop profile is balanced with subtle, nutty malt character and a delicate black pepper spice. Light in body, with a clean, bone-dry finish, Citra Dry Hopped Free Rise is a welcomed addition to our family of farmhouse ales.

Style: IPA
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Snifter and Tulip
Notes: This amped up American IPA features a heavy dose of Mosaic hops. The spicy, resinous, herbal aroma bursts with nuances of tart citrus, tangerine, clementine, and subtle green onion. Bold flavors of under-ripe melon, cantaloupe rind, and pineapple are highlighted with gentle bitterness and delicate, biscuity malt character. (From website)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #71 Night Shift Morph Batch 09/22/2016
This is two Morph reviews for the price of one!! The first part is just Shaun doing a normal Morph review since Mike is in California. The 2nd part is Mike, Shaun and their buddy Theo doing a review onsite at Night Shifts Oktoberfest on September 24,2016. The audio quality of the onsite review is very poor but it was fun to do so we thought we’d tag it on our normal review.
Style: IPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Night Shift 12oz Snifter
Notes: Our mid-September edition features a blend of Falconer’s Flight, Bravo, and Vic Secret hops. Light, fresh bergamot and orange zest aromas. Smooth bodied with pleasant bitterness. (5.3%)
Rating: 4.15/5 <– It’s between 4 – 4.25, right?
Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #70 Hill Farmstead Double Dry Hopped Arthur
Hill Farmstead has made its way down to the table this week. We dive into a double dry hopped version of their Farmhouse Ale, Arthur!
Style: Farmhouse Ale
Container: 750ml Bottle
Glassware: Stemmed Snifters
Notes: Arthur (1922-2005) was our grandfather’s youngest brother; Hill Farmstead Brewery rests upon the land that was once home to him and his 13 siblings. In his honor, this farmstead™ is crafted from American malted barley, American and European hops, our distinctive farmhouse yeast and water from our well. Unfiltered and naturally carbonated, this is the ale that I dream to have shared with Arthur. (6%)
Rating: 4.25/5
Nerdsense Episode 90 – Nerdsense Drinks Vol. 6
We have another installment of everyone’s favorite YouTube Beer Review Show, Nerdsense Drinks! This weeks episode collects two of the Vermont greats! We have The Alchemist Heady Topper from Episode 28 to start the episode with Lawson’s Sip of Sunshine from Episode 42 to end it!
Don’t forget to check out the videos if you like listening to the episode!
https://172.16.8.20/nerdsense-drinks-reviews-28-alchemist-heady-topper/
Style: Double IPA
Container: 2 x 16oz Can
Glassware: Small tasters for look only then drank from the can
Notes: (From website) Take a big sip of Heady and see what hop flavors you can pick out. Orange? Tropical Fruit? Pink Grapefruit? Pine? Spice? There is just enough malt to give this beer some backbone, but not enough to take the hops away from the center stage.

Style: IPA
