Pours light, very hazed yellow, wheat like. scent is quite nice, fine yet pronounced, for the style. Subtile fruityness, mild wheat, candy-necklace. Taste is Surprisingly bitter, quite sharp, intense. Fruity, grapes, citrus, green treefruit, but also slightly tropical like mango come to mind. Very candy-necklace like subtility. To the dry side, but not as dry as I expected. Very drinkable, and enjoyable !

Dok presenting a grisette again, the light-bodied blonde quencher of Walloon miners from bygone days - and to me one of the most useless 'style revivals' in modern craft beer, because it usually comes down to something either Belgian blonde- or saison-like with no specific set of distinctive features - and on top of that, who cares anyway, because nobody still alive today was already around when grisettes were an actual living tradition... Can from the Delhaize supermarket at the Sterre in Ghent. Irregular, frothy, very pillowy, cobweb-lacing, snow white head over a misty yellow blonde robe with greenish tinge. Aroma of freshly baked white bread, mown lawn, fresh lemongrass, lemonbalm, fresh chamomile, lemon zest, chalky touch, edible violet flowers, hints of wet sand and dry cracked limestone. Quite 'juicy' onset, low in sweetness but still 'green'-fruity, unripe peach, green pear, slightly sourish undertone from carbonation, harshening an otherwise soft, even slightly fluffy mouthfeel. Grainy pale maltiness with a soft white-bready core, under growing hop bitterness, floral, a bit rooty and zesty, bringing citrus pith-, slight lemongrass-, dandelion- and chamomile-like vibes. The hops then deposit a long, drying, quenching, rooty bitterness, which nonetheless remains mellowed by the malts. Utterly quenching summery beer, an ISA-like 'hopsapje' of sorts I guess - the fact that Dok itself uses this rather derogatory term in their own description of this creation on social media probably means they do not take it too seriously themselves. Not bad, in all, though there is no doubt in my mind that if we could bring back an obdurate grisette drinker from way back then with a time machine and serve him this, he would probably not even recognise it as a member of his preferred beer style...

Draught Fluffy, lacey snowwhite head over fully hazy yellow beer. Lemon, lime, citruspeel, hint of white pepper, even ever so faintly gingery. Very inviting nose. Quite slick, almost viscous with a bitter, citruspeel and very flavourfull character. Light body as expected. Bit creamy from the head, well carbonated. Excellent light beer, though IMHO more a session IPA than a Grisette.
