Cloudy straw as expected. The melon hits your nose as soon as the can is opened. Fruit and pine with some stickiness on the finish. A very nice beer.

Can pour at the brewery. No date on can. Served in a Teku glass. It pours a cloudy, bright tangerine color with a thick, creamy milk-white head and extensive, soapy lacing. The smell offers citrusy lemon and grapefruit over a crackery malt base. This is a good, hoppy ale, although I wouldn't categorize it as a NEIPA. It offers a lot of tart, bitter lemon peel and grapefruit rind, a hint of melon, mango and tropical fruit, and a dry, crackery malt base. It has a clean bitterness throughout. The Citra and Azacca hops work well. It's nicely balanced. Its mouth feel is rich and creamy for 7% ABV with appropriate carbonation. It drinks very easily. Overall, Wet Gravity is a flagship IPA of Foreign Objects and it is very good. I'd categorize it as an American IPA

Citra, Azacca

I don’t know how old this beer is - the date code is vague; Sept of last year is one reading but that seems unlikely, as does January 21st.
At any rate, this puts the spiky sides of Citra at the forefront; Azacca seems to be piney today while any lush tropical is lost in the shuffle.
There are NEIPA credentials to rank it with other Hudson Valley* specialists, though the IBUs are a bit more prominent than usual.
An enjoyable if different but not especially magical take on the style.

Nice, but I’m not as impressed with them as - judging from the label blurb - they seem to be with themselves.

*Where *are* they from? I knew them first in New Paltz, the taproom’s in Monroe, but the can says Carlstadt, NJ - do they do a shared proprietorship with Bolero Snort?

On draft at Bulls Head Public House in Lititz PA. This is a terrific beer. After reading the reviews that it was very piney, I was almost worried I misordered. Quite the opposite. Full tasting beer that leans more citrus, whiz is my preference. Well deserved for it’s high rating.

No dating on the can so i have no idea how long this was on the shelf. Reviews are great but this brewery SIIIIIITS on the shelf in stores I've seen and where I used to work. Absurdly overcarbonated, these beers do not move when I open them and both times it's like I shook before opening. Anyways tastes old school but I think ill have to try these beers soon when I'm closer to the source

 

Four and a Quarter off the bat. No doubt, a great hazed wet IPA.
a) Classic hazed pour sprouting long lasting lacing head.
s) Aromas of passion fruit, mango pine, citrus rind, marmalade. Some fresh bread.
t) Follows aromas but big, and a bigger bread bakery, crusty and piney.
f) Luscious, just right, creamy and then drying bitter.
o) Top NE IPA.

 

On tap at Tap and Mallet in Rochester, NY.

This one pours a fairly hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like mango, grapefruit, and orange, with a touch of green bitterness.

This might (?) be my first Foreign Objects beer ever. It's quite, with a creamy and slightly slick hop character, with tons of sticky mango, a touch of weedy and piney bitterness, and candied pineapple.

This is light bodied, crisp and pretty clean, with a very nice drinkability.

This definitely hits the spot if you're looking for this kind of beer.

Pours a hazy gold. Medium foam. Citrus aroma. Thick tropical body. Slightly bitter. Light malt finish. Well balanced. A very solid IPA.

16oz can served in a big snifter. Dated 2/10/2021. Definitely bought it in Bend, I think at Market of Choice.

Pours a very hazy orange-amber color with a medium head that collapses slowly to a very thin cap and a moderately thick ring, leaving little clinging to the glass. Not much visible carbonation; what's there is slow and very fine. Smell is chalky fruit; citrus pith, unripe mango. A little bit of green leafiness.

Taste is earthier, more bitter and resinous. Citrus pith is replaced with citrus zest and pine.

Mouthfeel is medium to thick, almost heavy, but still dry and not sticky. Overall, very nice.
