Bought two bottles of new LSA from Sportsman's Guide the other day.

I have read and seen one video where the stuff is white in color.  The stuff in these two bottles is like a dark beer.  I shook them up thoroughly before pouring a sample.  No objectionable smell.

Does it change color if heated up or over long-term storage?  Did someone replace the contents with something else?

IME it is white but it separates with the white stuff settling out leaving the darker carrier oil on top.

If a smaller container is filled from a larger container without first shaking up the original container, you can end up with a bottle of (entirely/mostly) carrier.

That said, I have not seen that happen with commercially filled bottles; only at the unit level when smaller bottles were refilled from bulk containers.

Looks white.  You will probably need a paint shaker if they have been sitting around for a while.  I have 3 quarts that are at least 30 years old, I will bet money that it's current state is as you describe.
