Vogt (Dutch for moisture) is a incredibly refreshing modern version of an English bitter. A beer with a proper head that is quite effective for rehydrating the body.

Dry-hopped blonde by a to me unknown beer company in Amsterdam, bottle from the Mitra in Lelystad. Tightly paper-lacing, fairly thick, very moussy, egg-white, stable head over a hazy pale orange blonde beer with peachy hue. Aroma of lemon-scented hand soap, lime flesh, bread crust, lavender, dried old grapefruit peel, rusk, leek soup, old potatoes, dusty cloth, dry breakfast cereals, dried meadowsweet flowers in a herbarium, cloves, baker's yeast, lotion, dandelion juice. Cleanly fruity onset, hinting at unripe green banana, a dash of pear and a touch of soapy starfruit, restrained in sweetness with a sourish undertone, notably minerally side notes also due to high carb, slick and supple mouthfeel. Cereally, grainy malt body with softening white bread-like but also explicitly soapy edges leads to a firmly hop bitter finish, drying and peppery with dried grapefruit- and field flower-like notes, light spicy phenols and lingering malt and yeast breadiness, but the latter relatively thinly so; rooty hop bitterness and soapiness linger. Bitter session ale, very soapy, feeling a tad fuller than the 4.5% ABV it contains, but by no means a session IPA as stated here (and this is not claimed by the brewer either!) - rather a hop-forward, 'hypo-alcoholic' Belgian style blonde, with an unnecessary and distracting lemon soap factor deeply penetrating its flavour. A bit boring but technically decent, could work well in a Belgian context but the Dutch should know better these days especially in a city like Amsterdam, which is delightfully teeming with classy craft beer pubs now. Very drinkable, but dramatically lacking in the fragrant, citrusy New World style hop aromatics I was hoping for - and even then it should be less yeasty to qualify for this style. Does feel 'fuller' in body than the average 4.5% ABV beer though, I guess this deserves some appreciation as well.

Draught, beer flight, at Tap Zuid. A filmy layer blanketing the glass. Pale golden body, cloudy. Dusty hops on the nose. citric hints. Taste of ripe lemony hops added by malted wheat. Mid-dry bitter tail. Refreshing, easy to drink. Just alright. (Amsterdam 08.03.2018).
