Draught at Dok Brewing Company. After Totem's Tyr, my second 'brut IPA', another new IPA approach which allegedly promises to become the next big hype... Snow white, medium thick, moussy head lacing in dots over a more or less clear, warm 'metallic' orange-hued apricot golden beer. Rich, tropical bouquet of mango, papaja, lychee, dried oranges, orange water, sweetbread, honey liqueur, ginger, olive oil, sweet stewed onions, cava. Cleanly fruity onset, mango cube, cantaloupe and lychee aspects, fizzy and minerally carbonation, slick oily mouthfeel, very supple; cereally and lightly bready malt base soaked in aromatic sweet hoppiness, again lots of mango, blood orange, adding soft bitterness to a drying finish with clear champagne yeast profile, if in a clean and subtle manner, with a dash of that same cookie quality found in many sparkling wines. Suggested sweetness much more than actual sweetness and in that sense indeed somewhat 'brut' in a masked kind of way, clearly an exercise in balance; interesting, well-drinkable and aromatic, I can see this concept work very well commercially in the coming months and years.
