What's on the Can/Website: "Assume the death posture and glean beyond this subjective experience of reality! Attain the Chaote's gnosis - the Void-Self Perception! This Foreign Objects New-American Hoppy Ale will inspire you! Galaxy, Motueka, & Calypso hops combine to create aromas of intense citrus meringue, ripe tropical fruit ambrosia, and a frighteningly sincere understanding that the only way out of subjectivity is through the Void! Drink deeply, as sensory overload & mystical wisdom are sure to follow!"

REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange-peach into a pint glass. Unfiltered; sediment suspended in the beer. White head; good lacing at the top of the glass. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Excellent tropical citrus, stone fruit mango, and bubblegum, with complementing oaty malt. Of course, malt a bit more present than with In the Gold Dust Rush. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose (as always). Lots of tropical, ripe stone fruit, and bubblegum from start to finish. Malt backbone is there but still in a supporting role to the tropical. Very refreshing and juicy. 4.5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Very juicy with trace dry tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An outstanding Double IPA. For me, Foreign Objects has quickly established itself as another go-to brewery for New England-style IPAs. I wish they distributed to the Pacific NW, even occasionally. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.538/5
