5 July 2019. At Dok Brewing Festival. Cheers to Anke & Ghent beer crew! Hazy golden-ochre with a lasting, small, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of ripe orange & mango, honey, banana peel, bread, cucumber, vegetable oil, lime. Taste is medium fruity sweet, notes of ripe orange & mango, subtler peach & pineapple, clashing with bitter pepper & grass on a bready, honey-like maltiness that has a somewhat spicy, yeasty & oniony edge. Dryish, piney hoppy finish, slightly floral with lingering ripe fruit, yeast & 'spicy' hoppiness, creating a warming gin-like alcohol effect. Medium body, slick-oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Clean & elegant as a whole again by Brouwbar, though a bit rougher in execution this time.

Golden colour with fluffy head. Aroma and flavour have a lot of floral notes. Well balanced and sessionable.

Brouwbar has been quietly reinventing and improving some of their original recipes lately and this one is intended as the improved version of DI10 – the house DIPA. Tasted at – where else – Brouwbar. Egg-white, thick, stable and creamy, papery-lacing head, equally misty peach blonde robe with warm orangey tinge. Aroma of fresh orange (peeled “à vif”) and mandarins, fresh mango cubes, yellow kiwi, ripe pear, strawberry, wet potato chips, minerals, sweetbread, lychee, alcoholic wodka whiff. Sweet and fruity in a clean way – as usual with Brouwbar – hinting at ripe orange, mango and lychee, minerally and ‘cristalline’ carbonation stinging a bit on the tongue’s surface (perhaps a bit too enthusiastically so for this style), slick and rounded mouthfeel, very supple. Sweetbready, very lightly caramelly malt sweet middle drenched in retronasal ‘hop fruitiness’, again with (blood) orange in the foreground and mango in the background, providing the same soft end bitterness as in the previous version. Due to the malt bill being ‘thinner’ in this version – the idea being to make it a less malty beer and therefore putting more emphasis on hop aromatics – the alcohol is also a bit more ‘naked’ and palpable as a lightly astringent, bittering warmth in the finish, more so than was the case in the first version. Not necessarily better than the original, to my taste, a bit thinner and boozier, but certainly more aromatic – which evens things out I suppose, so same score for both editions for me.
