Hazy yellow with a nice, frothy white head that leaves traces of webbed lacing.

Nose is spicy citrus, grass, traces of tea and melon.

Taste follows the nose. Dank citrus, herbal tea and faint melon. Medium bitterness on the finish.

Smooth, creamy mouthfeel.

This was a nice take on the style. Different that most and pleasing. Recommended.

 

 

 

 

Yellow/orange, opaque but not chalky. Strong tropical notes of passion fruit and guava with lighter citrus notes of tangerine. Taste includes these fruity notes along with some hoppy bitterness. Smooth medium body. A great balance of fruity/tropical and bitter.

 

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on December 29, 2018. Brewed with Raku and Amarillo hops. Look is hazy pale yellow. Smell and taste is citrus fruit, pine and dank hops. Feel is medium in body.

 

A: A beautiful pale lemonade pour settles to a dank and juicy orange juice like appearance in the vessel. Deep and hazy depth, dirty cream covering, with a bubbly surface that quickly dissipates.

S: Citrusy-grassy notes, lightly tart and refreshing dripping wet pine notes with some ripe grapes. Fresh fruitiness with some light wet tropical. Overall fairly good strength with a lasting impression.

T: Dank and juicy oranges, with some pine and grassy bitterness. Sharp and citric hop resins with some tropical sweetness. Mid-palate brings some dryness of pine-grassiness that lingers on to the finish with a medium high bittering rate. Hints of melon fruitiness.

M: Citric-acidic mouthful, dank and hop resins on the mouthful. Tart tropical grinds, with a good fullness and bitterness.

O: Overall dank tropical start finishes with some bittering flowery dryness of pine-grassiness. Beautiful presentation in the vessel, fresh wet nose, with wide range of flavors and bitterness. Foreign Objects continues to impress, especially when it comes to their N.E.I.P.A. approach that is on par with the best from further up north.

Pours a murky pale orange with soft, soapy foam.

Smell is juicy with notes of pineapple, mango and some grass. Slight pepperiness as well.

Taste is juicy and musty, like freshly squeezed juice. Motes of oranges, pineapple and mango along with a fairly sturdy, slightly floral bitterness. Very well balanced.

Mouthfeel is medium, well carbonated.

Overall, a really nice IPA, lots of flavor.

 

Great beer, except the smell.

 

 

 

On tap, pours a very hazy light greenish gold. Smell has complex layers of fruit, with mango, passionfruit, lemon and more. Taste follows. Smooth, soft feel. Great beer.
