Pours lightly hazy - I was expecting the milkshake thing, but it wasn't close. Not much a head, deep gold, appears to be fairly thick and juicy.
Smell is excellent. Pineapple, passion fruit, mango, some weed like dank, and wait a sec there is some biscuit coming through.
The taste falls a bit. It has similarities to the smell but seems just a bit unbalanced. I like the resinous quality the mango adds, but the pineapple is the sledgehammer.
The feel strikes me as odd. Heavy mouth feel, but it has this highly carbonated feel that is more than a tingle as it works off of the heavy fruit flavors.
This is not a subtle beer, it is pretty much in your face. I find it enjoyable and would drink again.

poured from can to pint glass.
A: hazy, so you know it's NEIPA style. Dark, wheat orange in hue. medium-low retention, leaving a lovely little halo to remind you that devil's in the details.
S: it's citrus. pineapple/mango thick-citrus, and dank hop, and a bit of biscuit.
T: dense. dank. it's just a tropical storm of pineapple led citrus, followed by dank hop, and a light bitterness that is swept away by the malty body. bursting with character. expect Will to bust out the cowbell at any moment.
F: medium-low carbonation, medium-thick body, and a lovely balance of lush-to-dryness that keeps me coming back.
Overall (personal opinion):
no one should accuse this brew of being subtle. this sucker reclaims the tiki-torch and busts out the boombox to pump out the citrus-dank jams. need more cowbell? or an excuse for more cowbell jokes? this is it. especially if "cowbell" means "CITRUS IPA BY LORDS OF ALL FIND ONE THAT DOESN'T FALSE ADVERTISE"
I had to fight a bias to keep from pulling a Dumbledore and giving an extra 10 points for pushing its own team to be better or whatnot. nonetheless, 4.75 points for Ravenclaw.

1 PINT can
Served in a snifter
This beer pours a rusty orange color and is turbid. It is topped with an inch of tan head that leaves spotty lacing.
I get citrus, guava, and pineapple in the aroma.
I get a definite grapefruit flavor with some bitterness. The guava, mango, and pineapple seem to be in the background.
Medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel
It is more bitter than I was expecting, but I enjoyed it.

Poured from a can into a British pint glass.
Brownish orange color with a good initial head and ok lacing. Citrus smell and taste. Smell dissipates a bit. Taste of pineapple and mango. The beer was a bit thin but it is not a bad beer.
