Pours a hazy, murky matte dirty yellow color. Completely opaque. A two finger bubbly white head forms when the beer is poured, but quickly dissipates. Some sticky white lacing coats the glass and a very thin splotchy layer of foam remains on the top of the beer. (3)
Aroma is reminiscent of a NEIPA - there are some juicy notes of orange, mango, grapefruit, and pineapple. A light biscuit malt backbone is there as well. However I am also getting this spicy, herbal note on the nose. It is more subtle and comes and goes, but it is definitely there. (3.5)
The taste follows the nose with notes of grapefruit, mango, orange, and orange pith. That biscuity malt backbone you sometimes get in these NEIPAs is present here. There are also notes of earthy pine, dank herbaceous weed, and herbal almost minty notes. That herbal spiciness is also there in the flavor profile. Moderate to medium bitterness is present starting pretty early on and continuing to the finish. It is quite bitter actually, but as its also in line with the NEIPA style, there is a decent amount of sweetness to the beer. It ends up coming across as an odd combo in this beer. (3.5)
Feel is medium to full bodied. Kind of a heavy beer - the kinds you drink one or two and then feel full from. Moderate carbonation. Sweet finish. (3.5)
Ok, so, at this point I am sure its an IPA ... I am guessing that it is at least a double IPA just based on the overall heft of the beer. The thing that has me wondering is the spicy, herbaceous notes - that has to be coming from the hops, which makes me wonder if this is hopped with some kind of old world hops or something. (3.5)

16oz can (dated 3/10/22) poured into 16oz tulip. Poured an ugly, fully murky dark orange color with an inch of white head that had low-moderate retention and almost no lacing.
The aroma had some citrus hops at the front, a light touch of frootiness in the middle, and, maybe, a hint of pine in the background. No real malt presence.
Fairly similar on the tongue, with the addition of some alcohol heat, which really shouldn't be there at this ABV.
The body was fairly typical for the style; smooth, medium, and with a semi-sweet finish.
Drinkability wasn't too good, the overall blandness combined with the alcohol made it a bit of a chore to down.
Overall, a below average murkster.
