Average beer. Nothing really stand out. After taste has some unwanted flavors. Smell is decent. Just really so so.

I would definitely read the user reviews before purchasing this just to make sure you are getting what you want. For starters, I'm rating this as a Double IPA because that is what it as marketed as.
Look: Fine. A light gold without much head. No lacing
Aroma: Orange peel and soap (and I'm trying to pull out IPA aromas here)
Taste: Even more orange peel and soap.
Feel: Light-medium carbonation. Medium bodied,
Overall: As others have pointed out, this has more characteristics of a farmhouse ale. That being said, it was still rather hard to drink. I didn't come across anything particularly memorable from this beer and will certainly not be buying any more of it. I wish I just got a single can. Instead, I've got 3 beers I'm not excited about drinking. But hey, it's not Natty Ice, so that's something.
