Orval

Pours a light orange with a big off white head. Nose with complex fruit, oranges and tartness. Flavor is the same. Very good and drinkable Belgian ale.

Brewed in Belgium......... Pours a copper color with a nice fizzy white head and lovely carbonation. Aroma of oranges, spices, citrus and some mild funk. Taste of fruits, yeast, some brett and hops. The mouthfeel is spritzy with a wonderful chewy palate that ends with a yummy dry sour finish. This ale is much better then i thought it would be.

Pours a rich amber color with a great head in its own Trappist glass. Sweet and fruity with nice carbonation. This beer begs to be savored. It really does not get much better than this. Can pick up on the "pale-ness." Great to have a Trappist that is not too strong to sip a few of.

Orval pours a cloudy golden yellow with a beautiful white foamy head that lingers and clings nicely to the glass. It smells of citrus and malt. The flavor of this beer is complex and refreshing at the same time. The carbonation never overpowers the citrus and malt flavors, which leave room for a nice hoppy bitter finish very late.

Pours out dark golden color with large creamy whie foam. Smells sweet but funky and hoppy. Taste is sweet fruity with lots of funky brett. Nice dry hop and slightly sour finish. Tasty stuff.

11.2oz bottle, bottled on 5/06/08. Cap came off with a loud pop. Pours a hazy dark orange with an enormous off white peaky head. Great retention and some decent lacing. Aromas are funky citrus, barnyard yeast, and some sour fruits. Flavors of funky yeast, some decent hop presence, a bit of sour fruit, citrus, and the brett is kicking. Delicious stuff!

dark -orangish in color with immense white head.Still waiting for it to settle to take that first taste. Beer seems to be tempting me to wait longer for that first sample. Looks picture perfect in the glass. Has a sourish taste but not one that puts off the taste. The 6.9% alc. vol. is not noticeable. Well balanced. I would like to try this again with someone that has more expeerience in taste rating so that I can get a beter understanding of this beer. Very good.

Sampled at the Sam Smith tasting at Blacklick Wine and Spirits on 2.5.09. I finally get to see what all the fuss is about. Copper color with a huge off-white head due to bottle conditioning. Sour and yeasty aroma, but the sour is more of a fruit sour than salad dressing sour. Definitely getting some berry and cherry notes. Funky tart and fruity flavor with some alcohol. Everyone knows I don’t care much for the Belgians, but I can recognize when one is well-made. On top of that, I could actually see myself buying this.
