Edit, I am having a second can and this one seems to be better. Re-review, even if it's a week later.
Has a hazy dark honey color with a creamy cap of 3 fingers, receding to a loosely knit bubbly head of 1/2 finger. Lots of globby lace on the sides.
Aroma is of fresh white grapefruit flesh, tangerine, orange peel, and spicy rind. Also some very faint spent grain.
Flavor brings grapefruit rind, then tangerine, then lemon rind, then orange rind, then spicy malt, and finally orange flesh.
Feel is acidic, but not juicy, and has some nice mild alcohol coming in. Finish is drying, resiny, acidic.
Overall, not a bad "hazy" IPA. I wouldn't call it juicy, but it is pretty decent. Have no idea what happened with that first can.

Describing itself as : Julius - Cashmere - El Dorado - Simcoe
(haven't heard of the Julius hop) but this should be very solid considering the plethora of fruity hop choices.
Pours what I'd call an opaque, but not necessarily juicy or hazy color, dark blonde, with a creamy head of 3 fingers, receding to a thin ring leaving lace destroying the glass. Good score for lacing, not so much for body.
Aroma from can is very malt-forward, typical grain mash with heavy 2 row and slight sweet honey malt, perhaps a touch of wheat and oats; sounds complex in bill but isn't really; some slight hop greenery and metal as it settles; aroma from glass releases more hop aroma with fruity notes of tangerine and juicy orange muffin with slight vanilla frosting, grapefruit, and perhaps a faint suggestion of carrot cake.
Flavor is of watery pineapple and tangerine, it needs a boost of body and robustness, but this is hazy IPA in the way that everyone else is (poorly) doing it, one thing that stands out is the mashed vegetable wet grain that seems to permeate this beer, while slightly being superseded by grapefruit, animal cracker, and the slightest hint of graham.
Feel is very highly carbonated, medium bodied, and has a slight resinous/acidity to it that helps it along but is still far from great.
Overall, not sure if I can finish this one, the 5.8% shows, it's a totally cheapened beer and has nearly no redeeming qualities for a hazy IPA, nonetheless I may send as an extra for others to try as I'm not always the sunniest when it comes to beers that aren't absolutely phenomenal (I always come in lower than rDev unless I'm psyched about a beer), but this is truly average..likely I will give this to my step dad for free since he loves anything hoppy. Final verdict : good if you like baby food and a little bit of white grapefruit. *spins can tab*
