Fortuna Vlieland - Wad Donker
Tap at the brewery. Brown color, red haze, medium sized beige head. Aroma is malts, dark malts, brown malts, earthy, malty grainy bitters. Flavor is malts, brown malts, earthy again, lingering malt bitter finish. Maybe a distant underlying sweet note in there somewhere, but very much a dark lager indeed. Probably true to style but not my kind of beer tbh. 7-5-6-6-6

Bottle shared with Laura @ Posthuys Vlieland. Dark orange color, huge foamy white head. Smell and taste wheat, honey, light bitter notes, sweetish berry notes in there as well and a bit floral. Fizzy carbonation unfortunately, that's really annoying.

Bottle shared with Laura on the terrace of Posthuys, Vlieland. Clear bright golden color, white head. Aroma and flavor are lightly malts, hayish in the flavor, more grainy in the aroma and pleasantly bitter. Easy to drink lager for hot sunny days.

Bottle shared with Laura on our way over to Vlieland. Clear golden color at first, after pouring in the 2nd part of the bottle it becomes hazy, medium sized white head. Aroma is pleasantly hoppy, lightly fruity. Flavor is malts, hops, distant citrusy notes, "bruisend bitter". Decent body, firm carbonation. Not bad.

33cl Fles, gekocht bij een slijterij in Grou. Mistig oranje-amber kleur, witte kraag. Erg veel koolzuur. Eerst bloemig, fris, iets zepig, lichte oldskool en Engelse IPA-vibes, later wordt het een gistig soepzooitje, ook heel oldskool. En ook dus veel teveel koolzuur. Lichte body. Heeft potentie, nu matig tot OK-ish.

330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, yellow-ish, golden colour with average, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, snow white head. Zesty, citrusy fruity, hoppy and sweet-ish, wheaty malty aroma, hints of orange, orange peel, tangerine, some lemon, a touch of unspecific tropical fruit. Taste is mildly bitter, zesty, citrusy fruity hoppy, pale and wheaty malty basis, diluted hints of mandarine, orange, orange peel.
Minimally oily, watery texture, indifferent palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation.
Rather simple and monotonous, quite restrained hop flacours - not convincing.
