From a can the smell is slightly pine, What a stupid name; clever marketing. This stuff is slightly hazy vanilla yellah on the retina. So what is dank? Unpleasantly moist and wet. Well, let's think; what can be moist and damp, yet unpleasant, makes me wander, no, creates wonder, LOL? Moist n damp but unpleasant. But maybe its warm & slippery? Exactly what this is. As a straight up civilized lager lover I find this: Uncerimoniously mothered and Undefined. Its Uncompetitive, Unconstitutional, undignified & Uglier. So Unfavorable and Uncool in its Ugliness. Undissolved, Unaging & Unceremoniously Undesirable. Its Ulteriorly Uncivil, Unclear & Uneasy. Unable n Uneasily Unfamiliar in its Unapologetic Unbearable attitude. Finally, its just plain Unclean on the palate, just like any IPA should be. There, you have it. What else can be said about any terribly on style IPA? Go ahead, ask me. I tell you. Preservative it is.
