A - Clear-ish, pale orange body, some haze but mostly transparent, white head fading to a thin partial cap, and lots of small bubble lacing.

S - Nose of citrus, pith, tropical fruit funkiness, and mild grassy spiciness. Grapefruit, papaya, passionfruit, and mango are key elements.

T - Bright fruit, tangerine and grapefruit citrus, mango and a touch of peachy stone fruit through the middle, and a dry pith note, coupling with earthy grass notes in the finish.

M - Moderate weight, brisk carbonation, and a dry, clean finish make this pretty drinkable.

O - I do not think this is a cliche, really, because this is not squarely in one camp or another. The fruit is forward, the acidity is there, but the feel and the bitter back end are more typical of less NEIPA style American IPAs. Tongue was firmly in cheek, I think, but I am glad to have tried this take at the brewery, and brought a four pack home.

What an inspiring name.
Hazy but not creamy or juicy light blonde color, creamy head, minimal lace.

Aroma of dry prairie grass, oranges/rind, some mineral.

Flavor is chalk, mineral, dry grass, and grapefruit rind.

Feel is semi creamy, moderate carb, no juice to be found.

Overall - it's obvious they didn't even try to brew something good here. The beer title shows a lackadaisical approach, and the actual beer reflects that. One of the worst IPAs in general that I have ever had.
