355ml can, part of their current IPA mixed-pack. Great name, and I am discovering that not all marketing wanks are bad, as the story on the label about 'The Great Juice Harvest' made me LOL.
This beer pours a hazy, pale yellowish apricot color, with four fingers of puffy, rocky, and mildly bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some random splotchy and webbed lace around the glass as it slowly abates.
It smells mildly of bready and doughy caramel malt, muddled domestic citrus fruit, a further indistinct tropical fruitiness, some damp minerality, and more leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, some generic orange and white grapefruit citrus rind, more hard to discern exotic fruity notes, and an earthy, musty, and dank piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly tame in its palate-titillating frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a good time, at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the mixed, and fading frooty esters limping on out of existence.
Overall - not exactly anywhere near the better versions of this style that I've come across, but adequate enough, given how inexpensive it was. Simple, but with the well-obfuscated extra buck-fiddy of ABV, this could make for a good lawnmower beer - y'know, for those fellas who fix their own broken mowers. I don't have one any more, so take that as you will.

CAN: 12 fl oz pull-tab from one of their 8-packs. Label claims the brewery is in Fort Collins, CO.
"Hazy IPA." 6.5% ABV. No hop varietals are identified on their label.
Hop profile is mediocre. Malt backbone is your typical 2-row/pale malt.
Pretty mediocre across the board, but drinkable. I'd sooner buy Lagunitas IPA at any Walmart in the contiguous U.S. over this mundane stab at the oversaturated style, but if a soulless unfiltered IPA with a shrug of a hop profile is your jam, by all means pick up one of their odd looking 8 packs.

12oz can poured into 14oz teku. Poured a (as expected0 murky yellow color with just a thin cap of white head that had no retention and lacing.
The aroma was the expected low malt/ fruity hopz combo, but there also a certain level of dirt basement mustiness.
The hops were a bit brighter on the tongue, with a hint of bitterness that lingered at the back.
The body was the average light of the style, but did manage a semi-dry finish.
Drinkability was fine, but uninspiring.
Overall, a pretty much average example of the style. Worth a shot you like the Murkz.
