New Belgium Shift Pale Lager
New Belgium Shift Pale Lager, brewed and canned by New Belgium Brewing Company, Fort Collins, Colorado. ALC 5% by VOL.
This New Belgium brew has been around for awhile, but it's taken me a bit to get to it, since pale lagers aren't my favorite style. Or second favorite, or fifth, or fifteenth, or fiftieth…
Clear, bright golden hued, under a lush, creamy white head.
Aroma: herbal and airy. Floral, delicately hoppy. Perfectly pleasant.
Taste: Lands on the palate with the greatest of ease, Softly, expertly, spreading small seeds of hoppiness on the tastebuds. Light bodied, and especially smooth. Good beer, and you can drink it. Quality lager, all the way. Good for an after-bike run respite, or to chug-a-lug along the way.
here's how the good folks at NBB describe it.
