Pours a light orange color with a thick white head. Aroma is sweet, lemony and Brett. Malty sweetness along with a good balace of bitterness. Very palatable beer.

Quite subtle apple flower nose with beautiful golden hue and some head retention. Feels great around mouth, plenty of body, rolls around, good carbonation. Taste is subtle sweetness with lots of hops. No off flavors, quite nice, but definitely no wow factor.

Bottle at Mondial de la Bière (Montréal). Dark blond body topped with a thick bubbly/frothy head. Well balanced malty/hoppy aroma and taste. Grainy, spicy and yeasty notes. Ends with a decently warming finish. Very nice!

Nose-apple, coriander, urea, light brett. Body-honey brown, very thick ring of bubbles. Taste-tastes just like the stuff they make dental implants out of (in a god way)-rubbery, plastic, smoked plastic, berry, pears, apple skin, soft, clove.

Robe blonde aux reflets roux légèrement voilée surmontée d’une mousse beige. Arômes de co2. Saveurs de malt, de céréales, de levures, de fruits et de blé.

Bu au Mondial 07. Dorée foncée, moyen collet beige. Arome d’herbe malté un peu de fruit sec. Bon goût de malte sucré et d’épice doux, des notes de petits fruits. Bref, une version fruité d’Orval.
