De complexiteit van het bier wordt reeds gevormd door extra hop toe te voegen op het einde van de kookstap in het brouwproces. Vervolgens wordt er nog een tweede maal hop toegevoegd tijdens de vergisting. Dat is een dry-hopping die voor een explosie aan hoparoma’s zorgt. De unieke combinatie van verschillende soorten hop zorgt voor het aangename aroma en extra smaak.

Bottle at home. Clear orange golden color, medium sized off-white head. Aroma is malts, grainy. Hops?? Ehh no. Flavor doesn't seem to hold much more either. This is in nothing a DIPA. It's a boring blonde. Malts, oddly bitter like medicine sometimes taste. Not good.

Smell-weak hops, weak fruits, weak citrus. Foam- thin, weak hops, weak fruits, very calm, neutral. Head is large white-yellow color. Sticks. Appearance- brewer bottle cap, I like labels, some nice cartoons. This is what I like and give a bonus to. There is a guy getting a tattoo, it's simple, but I like that. Clear orange-amber color, few carbonation bubbles. From- pint Price - 2,99 euros Taste- weak hops, weak citrus, weak fruits. Bit acidic, bit lemony, bit weird, but at the same time very neutral. Has some hop character. Aftertaste hoppy, but not too much. Balancing some weird notes, but getting away with that. Interesting.

Good, dense, very stable yellow head, fed by finely carbonated hazy orange beer. Rosewater, fruity notes, strawberry, lupulin, melon, pine & resin. Resiny and light fruity hop flavour, quite bitter. Orangerind, bitter orange. Resiny - oily feel, viscous, medium bodied at least, quite well-carbonated. Bit harsh, but de facto excellent DIPA.

15/VI/21 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: 19/XI/23, Lot: 440420119 (2021-491)
Clear dark blond to almost orange beer, huge solid creamy yellowish head, very stable, rocky, falls down slowly, creating some craters in the top foam layer, leaving some patches of flaky foam that look like the foam from the waves of the sea. Aroma: malty, very very malty, some cow fodder, raw grains, very rural impression, not much else. Is this supposed to be a DIPA?? MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: very malty start, grains, bit sweet, metallic bitterness, a bit medicinal, grassy touch. Aftertaste: sweet malts, bit of caramel, cow fodder, grains, hint of citrus, rather bitter and dry finish. By no means is this a DIPA! At best you could call this a hoppy bitter tripel.

Hazy blond colour with thin soapy head. It's particularly hoppy and bitter. Grapefruit peel. Intense.

It was about time for another bucket list beer by Musketeers I guess, and now we get this DIPA, though just below 7% AVB seems a tad frugal for the style... Thick and frothy, nicely 'Brugse kant'-like lacing, egg-white, foamy, stable head on an initially clear, deep orangey 'metallic' old golden beer with lively strings of fizz, misty with sediment. Aroma (even if buried under the foam) of dried orange peel, grapefruit pith, bread crust, hint of warm toast, rusk, fresh dandelion or sow thistle leaves, green banana, dried field flowers, dry straw, green apple, pink peppercorns, glue, linseed, green tree leaves in early summer, white soap, vague rubbery note. Crisp onset, sharp carbonation stinging on the tongue, clean-fruity hints of unripe banana, green apple and a touch of citrus peel, strong minerally effects from the carbonation continuing over a slick, smooth yet quite full-bodied, cereally and lightly biscuity maltiness with a vague toasty edge but also something faintly metallic along the edges; gypsum- and other mineral notes are added in the finish, quite strongly flanking a citrusy hop bitterness, leafy and somewhat rooty, lasting quite long but in a not overly harsh way, maintaining a certain amount of juiciness. What I am missing a bit here, are hop aromatics: this needs exuberant New World hoppiness, more than the dried citrus peel effect it offers now. Troubadour Magma from the same brewery is more aromatic than this one, but at the same time I also have to admit that this Get A Tattoo' exhibits a kind of old school IPA style - the Belgian way, sure, but with very obvious references to the West Coast IPAs and DIPAs by Lagunitas, Stone, Ballast Point, Anderson Valley and others I fondly remember from the time when I really got to appreciate the style. Not a bad effort 'in se', but I somehow feel it could have been so much more.

Bottle from Geers. Nose of tropical fruit, grapefruit, pineapple. Taste is medium sweet, quite bitter finish. Good DIPA.
