Stillwater Artisanal Ales

 

 

 

 

look: very hazy peach orange. Big ass off white on the pour that hangs around pretty good.
smell: big creamy citrusy fruit with a nice bitter hop edge.
taste: much like the nose. A nice creamy fruit shake with just enough bitter edge. Fine brew.

 

 

 

 

Pours into an impy nonic a deep murky burnt orange color with a sticky thinner head that leaves multiple rings behind.Melon and tangerine stand out most to me in the nose,a NE style IPA for sure here.Starts out with deep orange flavors melding into a sweet onion a resinous finish,a sweeter caramel/biscuit base is there thru out.Not bad,very fruity and easier to drink for the size.

Received from DragginBalls76 in NBS BIF #6 – thanks Michael!
16 oz can dated 9/1/17. Stored at 42 degrees and served at 42 degrees in a hand washed and dried Jester King snifter.
Aroma – Fruity and fades to undetectable.
Head – Very large (Maximum eight cm, aggressive pour), off white, medium density, good retention, diminishing to a three mm ring, a heaped partial layer, and a wideband of lacing immediately above the ring and a broken band of lacing higher.
Lacing – Excellent. Wide bands of tiny to medium bubbles. These bands eventually break into irregular islands.
Body – Dark yellow, hazily opaque.
Flavor – Fruits, mostly apricot, and nuts. Ends with a gentle burst of hops. No alcohol, no malt, no diacetyl. Allowing it to warm in my mouth releases alcohol and carbonation but produces no additional flavors.
Palate – Medium, approaching creamy, soft carbonation.

Impression: A very attractive brew in terms of aroma and appearance. The flavor is odd but not off-putting. I’d pick up a can or two to share for other peoples’ opinions but I wouldn’t pick up massive quantities for my own consumption.

Appearance 4.5, Aroma 3.75, Flavor 3.75, Palate 4, Overall 3.75.

the stillwater beers are coming fast and furious these days. what a cool looking can this is, and the beer inside is pretty awesome too, thick and weighty though even for a double, and less refined than a lot of their work, quite a bit of sediment here in the bottom of my glass after the pour. huge puffy white head on it though, really active brew. aroma and flavor have an amazing hop character, i would have to almost bet my life there is fruit in here, but i dont think there is. heavy peach and nectarine and mango, its one of the fruitiest smelling ipa types i have ever had, especially if its just from hops. honey, hop oil, a weed-esque dankness, and a richness that seems to go beyond the grain. this is sweeter than most, with just a ton of body and density to it, not yeasty at all, and so fruity from the hops without a ton of bitterness in the end. peach dominates for me, what hops could these possibly be? guava and orange juice too, almost like a beermosa or something, extremely compelling, but i almost wish for these hops in a more delicate and refined beer than in something so intense. its heavy and i am glad to be sharing the pint can, but i really like the hop flavors in here. can anyone confirm that this is unfruited? very little information available online about it... crazy beer.

 

Appearance - Pours super murky dark orange color with thick soapy white head with tons of lacing.

Aroma - Ripe tropical aromas of mango, pineapple and orange. Light hop and pine.

Taste - The taste is much juicier than the aroma let's on. Tons of ripe peach, pineapple and mango. The alcohol shines through pretty well in the finish. Nice bitter hop bite.

Feel - Medium bodied well carbonated pretty dry bitter finish.

Overall - The aroma was alittle light bt the flavors are booming with tropical flavors and hops.
