Stone Imperial Star Fawker Hazy IPA is loaded with Rakau & Citra hops for an intense blast of stonefruit and citrus flavors. And the aroma on this one is massive. As in, you-can-smell-the-hops-from-space massive.
This hazy double IPA is a follow up mission to Stone Viking Space Probe Hazy Double IPA, which also originally launched from Stone Brewing - Napa.

12 ounce can from Woodman’s Appleton, 10/25/21. Hazy orange, large frothy off-white head, good retention. Aroma of grapefruit, pineapple, grain. Taste is pineapple, lemon, orange. Some spicy bitterness. Nice.

This seems to me to be a bit more of a West Coast than East. Flavors have resin hops dominating instead of citrus or other fruit. A little more bitter also. Slight boozy finish and a soft texture. Decent enough beer.

Can. Opaque brownish orange with an inch of white head. Aroma oozes oranges with lesser soft apricot and mango. That pleasant but vague mixture is given structure by some firm dryish bread and a decent whack of bitterness. Booze dries it out further at the end. Wildly spendy on the alcohol for what it offers.

Can from Brewcraft at home. Canned June 16. Deep peach opaque pour with puffy white head that leaves a nice fuzzy layer after dissipating. Aroma is peach and citrus pith deliciousness - alcohol too. Taste is bitter pithy then stone fruit sweetness and alcohol warmth. Palate is fuzzy carbonated and slightly rich, with a nice juiciness. Very good!

Muddy, creamy orange body, medium cream head. Zesty, citrusy nose. Body tangy, tart, and rindy, primarily tangerine and pink grapefruit, with hints of lime. Finishes earthy and rindy, with little sweetness throughout the sip.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy orange gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates. Great lacing on the glass. Bright tangerine followed by mango, pineapple and plum notes. More of the same on the palate with stone fruit, melon and tangerine standing out. Pine on the finish with a bit of warming alcohol. Probably the best hazy I've had from Stone. Nicely done but still has a "Stone" character about it.
