Mar 17, 2009 A lightly hazed blonde ale with a thin white head. A pleasant aroma of coriander and light Brett, lightly funky. In mouth,a nice light malt with dancing Brett notes, frankincense. A well balanced Orval redux! On tap at Falling Rock Tap room, 24 Jan. 2009.

Feb 18, 2009 On-tap at the Falling Rock, this is a NB anniversary beer which is supposed to be an homage to Orval. I haven’t had the pleasure of sampling Orval yet so I can’t comment on that aspect. Golden yellow color with a billow of white foam at the top. Smells like only the slightest bit of funk with some citrus aspects. the taste has a slight hint of lemon and a bretty finish. This has some phenolics but they aren’t offensive or medicinal. Overall this was worth the $4.50 for a half pint.
Serving type: on-tap

Jan 21, 2009 On tap, copper color with clove, apple cider notes. High carbonation with a tart almost apple cider vinegar taste. Not my favorite but good.

Jan 5, 2009 Cloudy sunset, creamy white head. Loads of fresh orange and lemon on the nose. As a Belgian it’s pretty good, classed as a wit it’s great. Clean and smooth, quenching with plenty of bitter rind in the finish. I don’t see the comparison or tip to Orval. Not a wit?
