Time is already gone...Throw your mind away and fall into the sea of Galaxy and Mosaic hops obsessively layered in this New-American Hoppy Ale. Bursting flavors and aromas of eternal existentialism, ripe stone fruit, consciousness exploration, mystical grapefruit flesh, mango-nectar, and resinous proton waves! There are some people on earth. They live with separate minds. Dissolve your body today. There is no more outside.

Picked this up a few weeks back at Cable Beverage in New York, having never heard of Foreign Objects before. No doubt that New England IPA's are a dime a dozen in these parts but somehow, I found this enjoyable without being a haze bomb as this was quite balanced, boozy, and both true to it's stylistic form and description on the label.

This poured a turbid melon that was subtle in hue without any much of any light passing through it. A solid, but thin head topped it off as there wasn't much of any lacing left behind aside from a few dots here and there around my pint glass. Lots of deep orange, subtle floral notes, mango, apricot, and papaya in the mellow nose as the taste followed suit. Fleshy, ripe, and subtly sweet, this was plenty juicy, boozy, warming, and sticky on my palate and lips throughout. The bitterness was present, but in the back, as this had more heft than your typical beer of this type. The back was a bit exotic and spicy without drowning out everything else going on as this was nicely balanced and light in carbonation.

This felt every bit as strong as it's ABV indicated but the amount of booze in this tied in nicely with it's flavors and mouthfeel. Dated 4/8 on the bottom of the can, this held up well over the last three months as there wasn't any sediment to be seen on the bottom of the liquid. The label was an understated work of art and so was this beer, although fans of more popular takes of the style might wonder what's up with this. If you like a bit of waxiness from an old-school Pale Ale and no rough edges to be had, then this would be worth seeking out. Galaxy and Mosaic were used nicely here with the end result being something both familiar and new at the same time.

Not hazy enough in my opinion to be considered an NEIPA. Strong stone fruit aroma on the nose. You can definitely taste to Mosaic hops.

Very solid IPA good balance within the taste some bitterness but not too much very drinkable color is like light straw. Some taste of grapefruit and stone fruit as well.

Nothing to write home about here, this is a very tame, crowd pleasing hazy IPA... Mild citrus notes, no real lingering bitterness.

Pours a hazy murky pale pineapple/orange juice color mixed. Small white bar pour head done great lacing for such a small head.

Aroma is incredible atleast the intensity is great could smell it as soon as the glass was set in front of me didn't even have to lift it to my nose. Sweet tropical fruit, citrus manderin oranges, pink grapefruit, mango, pinnapple with floral hints that even make it sweeter.

Taste is like the nose but more in line with a normal NEIPA. Good and fruity with some sweetness and an light underlying hop bitterness.

Mouhfeel is medium with lightly peppy carbonation.

Overall a good NEIPA nice flavor on the better side, but the nose is damn fu**ing wonderful.

Pours cloudy bright gold with a one finger silky white head. Nose is sharp with floral nectarine and grapefruit. taste is similar with the sweetness kicking in midtaste. Really pleasant blend of stone fruit and grapefruit. Mild bitterness, soft mouth feel, moderate seltzer. Just fantastic job on this one. My first from this brewery, being up here in Maine. Will look for more.
