Can. Just a light haze on this gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, a mild dryness, decent fine carbonation on the back end. Soft smooth pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Soft cooling pine. Juicy Idaho 7 broad spectrum hop fruitiness with a light but, pleasing Nelson grapey winey thang. A touch of candy fruits and a little bright citrus on the back end. Good stuff, was hoping for a bit of Magnum filth but, that is a minor nit pick, nicely done..

Can from Dok.
A: hazy ochre, stable, foamy, off-white head.
A: ripe papaya, pineapple, peach, melon, cheese, coconut, honey.
T: sweet peach & melon, lychee, doughy malts, dank cheese.
F: floral hops, ripe tropical fruits, dank cheese, bit peppery onion.
P: medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation.
Intense brew, on the sweet side, but not as complex as their Heidi aus Thiol.

Collab of Dok in 'my' Ghent with a Norwegian brewery I was not yet familiar with, a triple dry-hopped IPA, can bought at the Delhaize Gent Ster supermarket. Contains, among other varieties, the "Super Sauvin" by Freestyle Hops, a hops farm in New Zealand; this new variant on the all too familiar Nelson Sauvin is apparently intended to be used in combination with thiolized yeasts, genetically modified yeast strains aiming at intensifying the fruity aromas in hops - once again, Dok is showing off the fact that it has its finger on the pulse of new international brewing developments, and I can only applaud them for that. Medium thick, off-white, thickly membrane-like lacing, breaking but generally stable head on a cloudy apricot blonde beer with pale beige-ish tinge. Aroma of ripe papaya, mangosteen, honey pomelo, orange orchard, honeydew, lime zest, meringue, sweet onions, cake dough, marijuana, cigarette shag, mango passion cocktail, background touch of pond water. Fruity sweet, even sultry onset, lots of tropical fruit with exuberant sugars - papaya, ripe mango, granadilla, mangosteen, cherimoya... A slight lime-like sourish touch tries to prevent things from getting too sweet but a softly carbonated, fluffy, full doughy maltiness ensuing carries quite a lot of honey-like sugars on its back, combining with the hops to create an effect very reminiscent of ripe honey pomelo. Retronasally, the hops 'explode' in a wild symphony of tropical aromas, supported by a citric edge and something vaguely peppery - but the initial, honey-like sweetness goes down quite prominently, even if the bitterness provided by the hops lingers far beyond that (luckily). A sweet-and-bitterish tropical fruit cocktail in beer form, this cetacean-themed Dok IPA does what it promises: that Super Sauvin, which I have not encountered in any beer before, does amplify the tropical sweetness and sultriness inherent in the hops - and probably the malts, assuming Dok indeed used thiolised yeast here, as the Freestyle Hops company recommends. Not 'my' kind of IPA per se, but admittedly spot on - I can only hope I saved some dolphins by drinking this.

8/II/25 - 33cl can from DOK Brewing (Gent), shared @ home, BB: 5/I/26 (2025-128)

Cloudy blond yellow beer, creamy dense white head, a little stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: nice, very fruity, juicy, mango, peaches, some lychee, oranges, tangerines. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: nice, very fruity, a bit sweet, good bitterness, tropical fruits, juicy peaches, mango, hint of almonds. Aftertaste: gentle bitterness, pretty sweet, citrus, mango, a bit of caramel, juicy, sugary, a bit too sweet maybe, but overall pretty nice!
