Gentse Gek

Dok Brewing Company
Belgium·Hazy IPA
Tap to rate

Dok's hazy IPA — juicy, tropical, and soft with a signature unfiltered body. Part of Dok's commitment to broadening Belgian craft beer beyond its traditional styles. Named after a Ghent expression for someone a little crazy — a fitting name for a Belgian brewery making NEIPAs.

Tasting Notes

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with pronounced haze from suspended yeast and protein, creating a cloudy, opaque body. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass in fine layers, leaving persistent lacing with each sip. Bright carbonation is evident throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

Tropical stone fruit and citrus jump immediately—mango, passion fruit, and grapefruit zest dominate the nose. Noble hops provide herbal and slightly resinous undertones without harshness. The unfiltered character brings a subtle yeasty softness that rounds the overall profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and smooth, with tropical fruit flavors blooming across the mid-palate. Moderate bitterness from the 50 IBUs sits comfortably in the background, supporting rather than dominating. The body remains light and clean, allowing the hop character to shine without astringency.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
