Pours slightly unclear yellowblonde. Fairly unstable, white medium sized head. Scent is Malty, but also quite fruity - to even a sweet impression. Not as crisp as I had hoped. Taste is quite smooth, malty, but also gives me corn-like vibes (which are not in here), fairly heavy on the palate. Grassy, bit citrussy, overripe kiwi-kinda hoppyness. Not super intense, but certainly intense for a pilsner. Not as crisp and clean as I had hoped, and for a westcoast I would have imagined it far more dry and bitter, more typical Pine-like as well. Anyway, it's not a bad beer in general.

IPL by Dok, hopped with traditional Saaz, familiar Merkur, more adventurous New Zealand bittering hop Rakau (developed in 2007) and tropical yet very American Strata, a rising star in IPA land since its launch in 2018. Can from the Delhaize supermarket at De Sterre in Ghent. Snow white, thickly plaster-like lacing, uneven-bubbled, thick and foamy head, eventually collapsing leaving big gaps, on an initially clear, very pale straw blonde robe with greenish tinge, turning misty further on and showing a few thin strings of nevertheless lively sparkling rising up in the middle. Aroma of strong pomelo flesh (mostly the Merkur I guess), yellow kiwi (Strata), granadilla (dito), something soapy (could be the Saaz), fresh Thai lemongrass and loads of guava (Strata again probably), lime orchard, orange zest, freshly mown lawn, sweetclover, soggy white bread. Crisp, dryish onset made less dry in overall impression by the sweet retronasal hop aromas; some green banana and hard pear, so in any case a bit more fruity and estery than a 'Pilsener', which is apparently the basic style the brewery refers to. Crisp, bit stingy minerally carbonation but acceptable for the intended style, slender yet elegant cereally pale maltiness perfumed with hoppy aromas of citrus blossom, citrus zest, yellow and pink tropical fruits and lemongrass - an intricate but beautifully woven web of all the involved hops contributing to an overall sensation of green tropical 'crispness' and zestiness, with the Rakau performing well in its long-lasting, young wormwood leaf-like bitterness, lending fullness to the finish. From a first impression in the nose filled with tropically scented bath soap (and this time I mean this in a good way) to a firm, sturdy bitterness in the end, this is an interesting and for me very solid IPL of sorts - just forget about that 'Pilsener' association and you will be fine with this one. I trust this brewery with lagers of whichever kind with my life - never have I had a bottom-fermented beer brewed at this wonderful place in post-industrial Dok-Noord in the old docks neighborhood in Ghent that disappointed, on the contrary.

15/II/25 - on tap @ my birthday drink, café De Welkom by DOK (Gent), BB: n/a (2025-134)
Clear pale yellow blond beer, creamy white head, stable, a bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: a little fruity, some tropical fruits, orange peel, a bit grassy. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: nice malty start, good bitterness, grassy, clean, slightly metallic, a hint of citrus, a little watery. Aftertaste: very dry in the finish, grassy, a little herbal, malty backbone still shining through, grains, hay, hint of cow fodder.
