Stainless Forest is a New England style Double IPA hopped with Simcoe, Ekuanot, Amarillo, and Cascade creating enormous hop flavors and aromas of tangerine zest, pine sap, dank cannabis, and ripe cantaloupe. Stainless Forest is named after the tanks used to make beer. Many times the tanks begin to feel like tall trees in the brewery, a vast stainless steel forest of fermentors.

Can from Broadway Dive Bar, Manhattan. Pours extremely hazy dark yellow with a small frothy light beige head, faint citrus peel aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter unripe mango-orange peel taste, tropical fruit flavor, smooth somewhat thick body, long medium bitter finish. Flavorful.

Can pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Appearance is opaque yellow-light brown, greenish yeast globs that sink to the bottom (reminiscent of fish excrement), no sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with fair retention and light lacing. Aroma is initial burst of strong alcohol that quickly fades to citrus, sweet fruit along tropical lines. Taste is initial burst of alcohol again, but above that is strong, nondescript fruit (more melon than citrusy), grainy malts with late citrus burst and gum--hard to pin down exactly. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with thick, granular texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, unfortunate look with the yeast--don't get stuck with the bottom of the can if sharing! Strong alcohol bursts to aroma and taste are unfortunate but is followed by intriguing mix of aromas/flavors. Overcomes its shortcomings.
