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.

Sample glass, 1/2 pint at the brewery.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt golden yellow. Sly transparency. No head (but a bar pour, so I get it).
The aroma had some great piney tones playing nicely with some bitter to sweet citrus. Low amount of malts.
The flavor leans to the bitter side with a creamy sweetness sliding in for a fair balance. Sweet and semi-earthy tones flavor up the aftertaste with some sweet wheaty tones in the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. ABV seems fairly well hidden for a DIPA.
Overall, crushable DIPA that I would have again.

From a can, at the brewery. Hazy, green tinged, pale gold. Ring of white head. Nose has dank and syrupy hop. Lots of sap and sawn pine. Some stewed citrus fruit. Taste is sappy sweet, turning resinous bitter. Full mouthfeel. Slick and a little oily. Long, sappy bitter finish.
