Fortunal is a sudden storm characterised by gusts of strong wind. They are exciting and a bit scary, but bring clear skies and much needed refreshment, just like Fortunal Pale ale with its summery fruity and citrus aromas and a wonderfully silky texture.

Bottle, 0.33l. Cloudy deep copper pour, one finger frothy off-white head. Good retention, lasting head. Minimala lacing on the glass. Nicely balanced on the nose, malty background, herbal notes, citruses, orange peel. Light to medium body, average carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, sofy, refreshingly fizzy. Bitter taste balanced with mild sweetness in the background. Aroma of toasted caramel and citruses. Light tropical, zesty, mild lingering herbal spiciness. Hints of ripe fruits and some jam notes. Medium lasting finish, dry, lingering bitterness. Quite nice.

0,33 l bottle. Pours slightly hazy amber with huge, lasting, frothy off white head. Over carbonation is obvious as I poured it into glass, best by date is 14.11.2019. Aroma is fruity, some tropical fruit, citruses and light flowery aroma, light bubblegum. Taste is light sweet and medium bitter. Palate is totally destroyed due to over carbonation, prickly sensation ruins anything until late in finish when I can taste citruses and pleasant bitterness again. This pale shows decent potential, but over carbonation ruins it.
