Walk Off Shot has an opaque, orange-gold appearance, with an ivory head and a bit of lacing. The aroma is of white bread and fruit (no fruit is in this). The flavor is of those elements, with low bitterness. Walk Off Shot has a medium body and a semi-sweet finish.

4-pack nabbed in New Orleans, Louisana for $15.69 USD plus tax. 16 fl oz pull-tab cans. No canned on/best before date appears on the label(s), but this just hit shelves.
"Hazy Double IPA brewed with generous amounts of Bru-1, Simcoe, Citra, and HBC 630 hops." 8.0% ABV.
Served cold into a stemless wine glass.
APPEARANCE: Subpar. Has a murky dull copper body and a lifeless off-white head. At least it looks well-carbonated, with the head sticking around a good 6 minutes. Not much to look at for an IIPA, lacking vibrance.
Certainly worse off for having not been filtered.
AROMA: Vague tropical fruit. Muted and indistinct, and entirely not unlike the thousands of other beers in this market category lining shelves. Nothing stands out compared to other turbid IIPAs with a tropical fruit hop emphasis.
Citra seems underutilized. I don't get any oniony/garlicky notes from Simcoe.
Muted mango, neutered tangerine, muted pineapple, myrcene, faint Belgiany spice (for some reason...I guess it's from the Bru-1 hops?), and seemingly lactose - but I guess that's actually just lactone esters from HBC 630?
Suggests a dull beer with a tired hop profile that doesn't disguise its ABV particularly well and won't be particularly memorable. Seems like more mediocrity from Rally Cap...
TASTE & TEXTURE: So dreadfully dull and indistinct in its hop character I can't believe they even bothered releasing it. Vague ill-defined tropical fruit is all I get atop a tired 2-row & wheat malt backbone. Simple, shallow, and insultingly inexpressive, failing to showcase any hop varietal at all to any meaningful extent whatsoever.
Warm booziness surfaces from the get-go and doesn't let up. Smooth, unrefreshing, wet, medium-bodied. I suppose it's decently carbonated, but even that isn't quite dialed in.
OVERALL: A joke at its high pricetag, but a joke by any estimation. Insultingly badly priced and appallingly mediocre, especially in a market in which they compete with Parish's Ghost In The Machine. But even the cheap option at your nearest Louisiana grocer is bound to be better (e.g. Lagunitas Sucks).
Possibly the worst attempt at an IIPA I've had this year to date. Rally Cap may be the most mediocre brewery in Louisiana, and that's saying something...
