330ml bottle. Clear, faint, red colour with small to average, frothy, slowly diminishing, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, slightly artificial, sugary, fruity aroma, hints of raspberry juice, a touch of cherry, citric acid. Taste is sweet-and-sour, slightly artificial fruity, slightly sugary, diluted hints of raspberry, some citric acid, cherry.
Oily watery texture, smooth, simultaneously minimally dry and astringent palate, medium to coarse, scattered, mildly prickly carbonation.
Quite artificial and sugary, no hints of beer, okay-ish fruitiness at least - so-so.

440ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, golden colour with minimally late awakening, small to average, creamy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Intense, citrusy fruity and slightly tropical fruity, hoppy aroma with some herbal aspects, oaty and slightly wheaty malty backgound, notes of lemon, lemon peel, limoncello, hints of lemon balm, mango, a touch of passion fruit, mandarine, yellow stone fruit, white grapes. Taste is citrusy fruity and minimally tropical fruity hoppy, sweet-ish, oaty and minimally wheaty malty, minimally bitter alcoholic, notes of lemon, lemon peel, some limoncello, mandarine, orange, a touch of yellow stone fruit, white grapes; minimally peppery spicy, yeasty overtones accompany a warming, alcholic finish.
Creamy texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy and cloying palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation.
Very intense and concentrated, wonderful, multifacetted citrusy flavours, a tad too boozy - good.
Often repeated line of thought for my part: Can't find the sense in or advantage of TIPAs compared to DIPAs. Where DIPAs have width, depth and complexity in relatively drinkable mode (disclose a universe of flavours in a way [and deplete hops in the maximum possible way]), TIPAs just deliver condensed intensity with knockout potential devoid of any benefit. Somehow it feels like carrying a roll of cloth instead of wearing an evening dress.

330ml bottle. Quasi black colour with slightly late awakening, small, dense, creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, tan head. Sweet-ish, caramel malty and chocolately, dark malty aroma, notes of chocolate, cocoa, caramel, dark caramel, toffee, a touch of liquorice; very weak, worm-eaten, woody, even minimally fungous overtones. Taste is roasty, chocolately, dark malty, caramel malty and minimally tart-ish, tannic, notes of dark chocolate, toffee, caramel, a touch of liquorice, some residual sweetness, minimally woody, tannic overtones.
Slim body, oily to viscous texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine, dense, soft, creamy carbonation.
Very homogeneous but not fully harmonious, fairly multifacetted, nevertheless somehow scant, narrow, stinted, hence almost a bit monotonous - not that exciting.

440ml can. Murky yellow, no head. (But with foam somehow generating "inside"; reminds me of a polyurethane foam experiment at school; not as explosive, but likewise enduring). Tropical fruity and slightly tangy aroma, minimally grainy background, notes of physalis, unripe physalis, berries, unripe berries, some banana, cereals, minimally alcoholic overtones. Taste is mildly tart, tropical fruity, minimally lactic, notes of physalis, berries, some fruit acid, banana, sweet-ish, oaty, wheaty, minimally grainy basis, cereals.
Mushy texture, smooth and soft, slightly cloying palate; no real carbonation: this is all foam in itself.
Very tasty, as smoothie as can be (and as far away from a common understanding of the term "beer") - killer stuff!

440ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, dark golden colour with average to huge, thick, dense, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Fruity, mildly grassy and resinous, hoppy aroma, oaty, wheaty and pale malty background, amalgamated, unspecific, pulpy, "yellow and green" fruity notes inside a spectrum between melon and kiwi fruit, a touch of lemon, orange, grapefruit, hemp, minimally herbal-grassy overtones. Taste is in an equal (homogeneous, amalgamated, unspecific) mode fruity on a creamy, oaty and wheaty basis with low residual sweetness, a minimally alcoholic touch, some lighter citrusy aspects, lemon, lemon balm on top; lingering, less fruity, slightly bitter hoppy finish.
Creamy texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium to fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Well crafted, very homogeneous, almost monotonous; but if so, monotonous on a very high, pre climax level and with quite some evolving, "marginal" but not negligible subtleties - banger!

440ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, dense, frothy to creamy, slowly diminishing, moderately lasting, white head. Concentrated, nevertheless somewhat subdued, citrusy fruity and minimally perfumed, hoppy aroma, raw, wheaty malty background, hints of lemon, a touch of yuzu, limoncello, whiffs of lime; developes way more pervasive lemon fragrance after a while, some "heavier", more durable, dank, resinous aspects as well, whiffs of mint. Taste is concentrated, bitter, citrusy fruity hoppy, sweet-ish, minimally sugary, oaty and slightly wheaty malty basis, notes of lemon, limoncello, some zesty bitterness, lemon peel, a touch of yuzu, honey, orange, mandarine; later some herbal aspects as well, mint, a touch of eucalyptus.
Oily texture, fairly smooth and soft, minimally greasy, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation.
Rich, complex and developing, oscillating; in doing so at all time balanced, (re-)fresh(ing), intense - great.
