2nd Shift Brewing Art of Neurosis

What the brewers say

"A hop sandwich of Simcoe and Columbus hops."

What our panel thought

"Dominant citrus up front—orange, lemon—with piney, grassy notes. Moderately sweet, lightly toasty malt; some green onion/garlic hop flavors, with peppery spice, orange-citrus, light grass—and moderately strong, bracing bitterness. Overall, fairly malty. Classic West Coast–style hop profile."

What our editors thought

"Classically bent citrus-dank nose. The sip continues the party, with a moderate yet smooth bitterness underpinning it. An idealized West Coast IPA, maybe a touch sweet with crackery malt, but right down the classic line."

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

2nd Shift Brewing Co Art of Neurosis

“The nose is dank and earthy, but fairly muted. Light floral, resin, and pineapple. Medium malt, high firm bitterness. The flavor pivots to a dark, resinous pine paired with a little toasty malt and resin, pepper, light diesel, and orange or grapefruit citrus. Bitterness builds in the aftertaste.”

Arizona Wilderness Brewing Strong Safety

“Bright citrus-forward aroma of tangerine, lemon, grapefruit pith with hints of green tea, earthy pine, cedar creates a compelling and complex nose. The heft of the alcohol is well-hidden, and the finish is pleasantly bitter. But the flavor lacks the aroma’s compelling complexity.”

Reuben’s Brews Triple Crush

Dank aroma, earthy, with strong citrus notes of grapefruit, mandarin—and jammy apricot, as it warms. Bitterness wallops taste buds, then nuances emerge: pithy, warming, mixing dank citrus with tropical stone-fruit jam. Drinks smoothly, without sticky heft.
