AF Brew / Stamm Beer Star 14
A high-impact collaboration between AF Brew and Stamm Beer, Star 14 is a sensory-forward Double IPA that bridges the gap between classic strength and the modern Vermont profile. The pour is characteristically hazy, supporting a lush aroma of intense tropical fruit, citrus, and stone fruit. On the palate, the hop saturation provides deep flavors of mango and pineapple, supported by a soft, neutral grainy malt character. While the bitterness is firm and assertive, it remains smooth and integrated, leading into a medium-dry finish with a lingering fruity resonance. This beer captures the 'juicy' hype with a smooth, medium-bodied delivery and a clean alcohol presence.
Appearance. Gold to light orange (7-9 SRM) with a distinctively hazy, opaque appearance. Topped by a moderate-sized, creamy white head with good persistence and significant lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical fruit (passion fruit, mango) and sweet citrus (tangerine). Very low, clean, neutral grainy maltiness in the background. No solventy alcohol; very light fruity fermentation esters.
Taste. Strong hop flavors of ripe pineapple, citrus zest, and stone fruit. Bitterness is moderately high but smooth and lacking harshness. Malt is low, soft, and supportive without caramel or toast. Finish is medium-dry and clean with a lingering, hoppy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a soft, smooth texture. Carbonation is medium-high. A well-integrated, restrained alcohol warmth is present, with no harsh hop-derived astringency.
