Can't Go Wrong Without You
Foreign Objects Beer Company

 

 

These guys make killer NEIPAs and this no different and I took on a beer that had close 80 days on it, canned 7/17/19. Pours a very hazy orange yellow this has Nelson Sauvin, Mosaic, and Eldorado leaves a solid finger plus sticky white head that covers the sides of the glass with thin wall clinging to the glass like a fat kid the last Boston Cream Donut in the box, with awesome retention. 4.5

Smell is outstanding melon, peach, blueberry, guava, pineapple, and a little vanilla. 4.25

Taste is more aggressive and assertive with tropical starting with guava, melon, peach, blueberry, pineapple, and a little vanilla and it is actually pleasant as heck. 4.5

Mouthfeel is pretty big and kind of sticky, moderate soft carbonation, completely coats they entire palate, and at 7.5% it goes down extremely easy, but more flavor than that. 4.75

Overall these beers are expensive, but are always excellent and again 80 days and still drinking amazing. 4.5

 

 

 

 

Dense 2 finger white head atop a pale but luminous peach body. Cloudy to opacity. Head leaves plentiful sheets of fluffy lace down the sides of my tulip glass.

Scent is tropical fruit - pineapple, grapefruit, mango, orange, lime. Some spicy hop notes - a hint of pine resin I think. Flashback of drinking pineapple orange juice as a little kid.

Taste is again a blast of pineapple-orange. Some lime and other citrus in there as well - grapefruit. Some other fruit flavors - peach appears. A touch of heat and a bit more hop bitterness/astringency than I would expect from the style though I admit I enjoy it. Long finish with competing flavors duking it out: pineapple. no, peach. no! grapefruit! finally settling into a rather bitter finish. not sweet.

Mouth is juicy up front and dry on the back if that makes sense.

Not my favorite NEIPA but I enjoyed it.

Good head production, retention, and lacing. Definitely some nasty floaties (typical of FO), that congeal and worsen as the brew sits. Body is a dark lemon, color, translucent, and allowing a touch more than shadows through.

Aroma features juicy hop tones of grape, orange, lemon, mango, papaya, and pineapple.

Translates well to the palate, with a refreshing blend of hops imparting tones of lemongrass, papaya, pineapple, ruby red grapefruit, mandarin orange, mango, passion fruit, peach, and berries. Malt base provides a pleasantly sweet and neutral backbone of honey and crackers.

Smooth, reasonably lively, and very drinkable. Fairly low bitterness.

 

L - 2-finger foamy, offwhite head atop a vibrant orange body.

S - floral, orange candy, herb.

T - floral tea, dirt, orange, anise. Moderate bitterness. No sweetness. Low booziness.

F - medium body and carb.

O - Nelson dominates on this one.
