The verdict

More marketing than muscle — a protein blend padded with maltodextrin and oils, fewer servings per tub, and a "lean lipids" story that just means added fat. It's convenient and everywhere, but per gram of quality protein it's a poor value next to a straight whey. Better options cost the same or less.
