Good day ladies and gentleman, I hope this finds you all well and happy. New Belgium is one of those breweries that you probably think of as a cult brewery than anything else, but really, it’s pretty mainstream but in a good way. Sticking with an idea of normal beers turned unique, New Belgium has taken the Pale Lager and given us something to not only be enjoyed but savored. Shift is a tall boy beer (16 oz) available in 4 packs and sports a respectable 5% ABV. The beer pours well with a decent head that doesn’t really give off much a nose until you actually plant your beak into the glass and get a nice whiff of grass and breads with a touch of lemon every once and a while sniff. The brew taste is very crisp and clean with a touch of hops and that citrus/lemon flavor again while the aftertaste brings out a slightly roasted flavor which is surprising given that this is a pale lager which usually means anything but roasted flavors. A great warm weather beer, this is just another notch in the belt for New Belgium. Good job guys, keep it up.
