Great can but beer was a bit meh. Look was not quite blood red but closer to a brilliant and crystal clear orange-rose color. Scent was lightly hopped, almost verging on a sour-ish tartness. Taste has a bit of cherry and orange (or similar) but pretty weak. Feel is on the lighter side with effervescence bouncing off the tongue. Not quite clear what this is going for as it doesn't quite hit the marks I was expecting.

From the stunning can, it pours a clear reddish orange color with a modest, cola-like light pink had that remains at about a half inch thick for a while. Some lacing. The nose gets notes of sugary orange drinks. The mouth gets a slight blood orange bitterness followed by muted bitterness with a slightly sweet character to it. The pop like fizziness fills the mouth with fizzy carbonation.
Not sure what the target market is on this one...

From the bottom of the can: "DB BEST BY 09/15/22" there is also a time code but it is difficult to make out.
Appearance: The beer is slightly hazy and has a reddish-orange color with hints of purple. It has a creamy textured head that is short and off-white with a touch of purple-pink color to it. The head has good retention and it leaves nice sheets of lacing on the glass.
Aroma: It smells like orange Fanta soda.
Taste: Up front there is this bitter orange character then it mellows out a bit towards the middle of the palate. There isn't much flavor to the beer in the middle other than a muted orange character. Nothing really in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Carbonation feels good. It has a light bitterness similar to what would come from a dusting of lemon zest.
Overall: The can states that this is an "INDIA PALE ALE WITH NATURAL FLAVORS AND ARTIFICIAL COLOR." It doesn't taste like an IPA at all and it doesn't have much bitterness. There is an orange flavor to the beer but it isn't much. The color of the beer is nice, even if it is artificial. The can also says that it is "BREWED TO THE SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF BLOOD" which doesn't seem to do much for the beer other than provide a gimmick. As a whole I wouldn't buy it again. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are a collector of band memorabilia, as this has GWAR on the can.
