Sauna is a crisp, pale lager inspired by the beers of North Germany. This beer is a celebration of our continued passion for lager brewing alongside our good friends at CR/AK brewery in Italy. Best enjoyed after the sauna.

Canned Pilsener by Dok in collaboration with Sleeping Village in Oslo, intended as Northern German in substyle. Snow white, moussy, stable and closed head, misty yellow blonde robe with vaguely olive-greenish tinge. Aroma of freshly cut grass, raw green cereals, white bread dough, flour, raw lettuce, moist white pepper, touch of gypsum. Clean, rounded onset, sweetish cerealliness but dry in general, with thinly white-bready core and lively carbonation (if not too sharp); grassy hop character, bit peppery, soft and floral but consistently supporting the dryish aspect and balancing out the pale maltiness. Rounded, soft but very well-balanced Pilsener, but considering this softness, I would personally associate it more with the southern German (or even Czech) traditions than with the typically more ‘hard’ and bitter Pilseners of northern Germany.

Golden with a white head. Malt aroma with some hops. Malt body with hop bitterness to balance. Malt and hops goes into the finish. This was nice

21/X/22 - on tap @ DOK Brewing Company (Gent), BB: n/a (2022-1392)
Clear pale straw yellow blond beer, small creamy irregular head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: clean malt bill, a bit fruity, yeasty notes. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty fruity start, nice clean bitterness, grassy, hoppy, some unripe banana. Aftertaste: still a bit malty, banana peel, bitter and hoppy, some citrus, ripe pears, clean malty touch, pleasant crisp and dry lager, with quite a bit of fruity notes and complexity.
