Any guesses on the style? It's a real favorite of some here...

I’m guessing It’s a Hefe.

All good things come to those who show patients and perseverance while maintaining a positive and progressive attitude. 😉

I vote NEIPA.  But Step 1 has me scratching my head.  If you just don't follow procedure 2, won't you get all the sediment?  Somebody is really overthinking this.  Then again I guess just having operating instructions on a can of beer proves that.

NEIPA! It's M-43 actually, pretty good but a bit too much hop acid bite. I did not follow these instructions.

Do you mean just pouring it all without leaving some behind? That's possible, but depending on how long it's had to settle some will stick to the bottom of the can and also if it comes out in one big slug, a good chunk will get caught behind the can opening (as opposed to a bottle).  If it's stirred up more it will all come out and distribute evenly instead of just sinking to a slug on the on the bottom off the glass.  Gently rolling the bottle on the table is a very common way to rouse Wits, Hefs and lambics. 

That said, I would argue that a NEIPA should not have any sediment because the "haze" shouldn't settle out... but that's just me.  If the haze were protein or even hop driven, not much would settle out, but since you've got a can of yeast slurry... well.
