Look: It pours light orange and cloudy. It has a white head and head retention is low.
Smell: Strong stone fruit aromas. It has some grainy sweetness from malt in support with a very low level of tropical fruit.
Taste: The flavor has some stone fruit flavors with some resinous elements. There is a bit of mango and tropical fruits in the background. The alcohol is noticeable, but pleasant. There is also some grainy sweetness in support.
Feel: The mouthfeel is medium full with a bit of syrup on the palate.
Overall, there is a pleasant combination of flavors, but the beer sits a bit heavy on the palate

Poured into a Tree House glass a pretty nice hazy yellow/orangy color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger plus off-white head, which also leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, pineapple, mango, grapefruit), piney. The taste is pretty nice hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, mango, pineapple, grapefruit), piney. Medium body, ABV hidden very nicely, with a nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a tasty brew.

Can from Dad, thanks for the hookup!
Hazy grapefruit lemon color with a bubbly white head that slowly recedes. The aroma is citrusy grapefruit and butterscotch. The flavor follows the aroma and is a bit rough. I'm not sure why breweries are trusting Dorchester "Brewing" to make their beer, from what I've tasted they have serious process issues.

Medium-deep orange-gold and opaque, with a finger-plus of white foam on top... Orange and melon seem to be the dominant fruit impressions here, with a supporting cast of supportive tropical and citrus flavors like grapefruit, lime, and mango... Moderately sweet and mildly bitter, with a solid malt body... Smooth and medium-weight but with a little chew to it... A very nice, fruit-forward DIPA entry from Stillwater... No canning date, but based on their Instagram page this was probably a 7/3/18 can release...

Definitely a decent West Coast style DIPA. I would imagine it's probably one of the better offerings of the style back where it's brewed. But out here in Cali where competition is seriously stiff, it's solid but doesn't stand out from the crowded DIPA field in any way.
