As with every other Foreign Objects beer I've had, this is marketed as a DDH "ale with hops," bearing a hilariously over-the-top manifesto of flavor text on the back of the can (whereas the front features abstract, swirling art, mind you). I'm not sure what hops are used here, to be honest. Most of their beers declare such information, but this one just mentions "peach nectar, juicy fruit, and earthy conifer sap." This is also the lowest-ABV FO beer I've had, clocking in at a rather-diminutive 4.2%. Let's see what's going on with it!
Pours a beautifully-opaque light-orange color with a solid, retentive head of white bubbles building up to about a half-finger at the highest point. Nice legs here with some noticeable carbonation rising to the top of my glass if I pay some attention to the head. Slightly swirling my glass re-rouses the cap of foam atop this beer, rejuvenating its appearance in a vivacious manner. Nice stuff here.
The nose is pungent and detailed, displaying intense elements of dank pine, tangerine flesh, grapefruit juice and guava, along with follow-up notes of wild berries and peach. Very aromatic, with tricky and difficult-to-nail-down elements that seem to shift chameleon-like as I sniff and attempt to appreciate this unique offering.
On the tongue, this comes across with a lot of unique blended fruity elements, ranging from fresh-cut red apple to apricot jam and tangerine, all the way through to guava and papaya-like tropicality. Very intense and flavorful, with a deft and assorted melange of different aspects all coming together to achieve a whole profile. I would describe this, first and foremost, as "intensely fruity," but it really does have more to it than that. The mid-palate has some rye-like spicy malt and a uniquely punchy and crisp, snappy grain backbone. The bitter and aspirin-like finishing note is striking because of its contrast to the rest of the palate, for instance. Maybe not my favorite thing ever, but it is interesting and intriguing.
Feel is heavier than usual for a beer under 5% ABV, but then again, we're talking about Foreign Objects here... this is utterly packed with intense hoppiness and likely laden with delicate oils that, if removed, would completely change the way it drinks. I love the initial burst of intense flavor here combined with the crisp and detailed grist, however. It sets the stage for the finishing assault of hops. Another good one in the books for FO!

Great head production and retention. Brew is lemon yellow and typically hazy, but lacking the unattractive floaties that often mar Foreign Objects beers.
Incredibly dank nose, along with bright herbs. Minor notes of grass, pepper, citrus, and tropical fruit are mostly overwhelmed by the dank pungency. Plenty of aroma, and almost certainly pleasing to most.
That dankness is certainly translated to the palate, accompanied by citrus and watery tropical notes, almost like watered down fruit juice. At first contact, there's plenty of flavor, but the low ABV results in a thin, watery, unfulfilling overall experience - like fresh paint on top of cardboard. There's just no meat or backbone, as is typical with session IPAs. The amount of hop flavor is quite impressive, however, and it's a pleasant if hollow experience.
The thin mouthfeel, while a detriment to the flavor, is definitely right in line with a crushable low ABV brew.

It is a light, session beer and provides about the level of flavor expression one would typically expect from such a beer. The hops are mainly grassier / earthier notes with a mild melon rind, but nothing that jumps off the page

Pours a light golden color, almost white. The head is 1 finger, white, frothy, and decent retention.
The nose has a slight juicy hop aroma.
Taste - Has a light hop taste. It mixes pine and juice. More pine than juice.
The body is quite good, even more so when you take in the lower ABV. The hops have a crisp feel, and lingers in my throat.
Tasty, and easy drinking session IPA.

A: The beer is cloudy whitish yellow in color. It poured with a finger high white head that quickly settled down, leaving a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light aromas of musty peaches are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and is rather musty, with notes of melons and peaches and hints of pine towards the finish. There is a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a little crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The musty nature of this beer somewhat lessens its drinkability, but it definitely makes this unique compared to other beers in the style.
