I'm really not sure what the other posts were drinking, my guess is something other than was in the can. Excellent beer start to finish, nose to mouth. There is no vegetable smells, tastes, or otherwise, only citrus hints and peels. The other reviewers should be removed.

From the wild can, it pours a hazy amber with a nice head that slowly reduces to a thin layer with tendrils up the sides. Lacing as you enjoy it. The nose gets the scent of spicy something. In the mouth, it is strongly citrus, with a kick. Smooth feel, lingering citrus in the back of the throat.
As this is the first so-called Triple IPA I have had, I have nothing to compare it against, so I just go with my gut feeling.

From the bottom of the can: "08/20/2020 09:56"
Appearance: The body of the beer is a medium orange color that appears mostly opaque, with the exception of very fuzzy shadows that creep through. It has a medium-short white head with a rippled surface that has a tapioca pudding appearance with larger bubbles forming through the slickness of smaller ones.
Aroma: It has a note of vinyl at first, then alcohol comes through. Pulling away the nose there is a tangerine scent. Closer to the surface some grain flour comes out and the vinyl returns.
Taste: There is an odd combination of flavors that come through all at once. Cabbage and Brussels Sprouts with some sweet grass are noticeable at first. There is a bit of a light grapefruit peel. The beer takes a lot of palate cleansers to pull away the vegetal characters.
Mouthfeel: It has a medium-low bitterness and a soft mouthfeel.
Overall: The can states that this is a "TRIPLE INDIA PALE ALE" and that it contains "10% Alc. by Vol." It has all of the hallmarks of a New England IPA but it just isn't a good New England IPA or a regular Triple IPA. As a whole it doesn't have an appealing aroma or flavor so I wouldn't recommend it or drink it again.
