Can at home. Unclear, a bit hazy / misty loght to medium orange color, full sized a bit rough white head. Aroma is citruspeel and a bit grassy imo. Maybe a light herbal hint in the background. Flavor is lightly malts, some saison notes imo, mixed with a decent hoppiness and a pleasant, suitable for the beer bitter finish. Decent to average body, average to medium carbonation. Alright.

Pours unclear blonde, medium white head. Smell is pine-tree needles. taste is bitter, intense pine-needles ( dennenaalden ) , medium body and carbo. Long, long lasting aftertaste. bit too 'perfumy' and herbal to me.

19 September 2019. At Dok Brewing Company, Ghent. Cheers to Teamleader colleagues! Clear dark golden with a lasting, thin, foamy, white head; irregular lacing. Aroma of yeast, apple peel, pear, old bread, straw, grain, vague mango. Taste is light fruity sweet, restrained apple & pear, low bready maltiness, some bitter spices, rye & straw over a constant grainy, malty & yeasty character. Dry, yeasty & malty finish, slightly earthy & spicy hoppy, bitter & even dryer in the very end. Medium body, slick-watery texture, soft carbonation. Not inviting, and flat in the mouth. Quite poor by Dok to me.

Special pale ale (even typified as a ‘Belgian pale ale’ by the brewer) created for the Pro-Pain concert at Hal 16 (an American hardcore metalband). From tap at Dok Brewing Company’s premises, but seems to have been canned as well. Very thick, firm and dense, very stable, snow white head, misty deep orange-tinged golden blonde robe. Aroma of bread crust, dried lavender, bitter green plant seeds, dried wormwood, grapefruit peel. Cleanly fruity onset, crisp, hard unripe melon and dry orange peel effect, lively and crisp carbonation (but not too harsh), smooth dry-nutty and ‘bread-crusty’ maltiness leading to a long, spicy, rooty, resinous hop bitterness in the end with a bitter ‘white citrus peel underside’ twist, peppery and quenching. Apparently hopped with Sorachi Ace grown on Belgian soil – which, combined with the climate here, has an effect on the hop’s aroma; indeed those typical herbal qualities I tend to associate with Sorachi Ace (dill, cilantro) remained understated here, but the bitterness was pleasant and spicy so this beer surely passes for me as one of the more ‘characterful’ metal and rock band beers – because yes, this one belongs in that ‘subculture’ of beer – that I came across so far. Dry and tangy, yet remaining easily drinkable; style-wise it hovers a bit between classic Belgian blonde ale and modern American style pale ale, which is fine by me.
