Brewed by Brasserie dOrval
Style: Belgian Ale
Florenville - Villers-d.-Orval, Belgium

Beautiful orange color and a great strong fruity (banana) aroma. Interesting stuff happening when you taste it and finished with a nice warming hoppiness.

large creamy off white head. good lacing. mostly diminishing. flat cloudy thick dark orange body. aroma: moderate hoppy, apple and alcohol. if and ff: light sweetness and moderate bitterness. average duration. palate: medium full body, creamy texture, lively carbonation and chalky finish. grande amargor de lupulo, dulçor frutado puxando para maçã, paladar com toques de pera em calda. boa cerveja, mas o dulçor frutado parece nao casar com o amargor pungente e o final gredoso. baixa drinkability. 90s

bottle 22/04/09. poured into a trappist glass and was presented with a foamy head. A very lemony sour aroma starts this one off. A highly carbonated brew with a slight sour and dry finish. Summary: delicious beer and is super drinkable, but was expecting more from a trappist. i will definitely revisit this one again, but it will be aged.

Presented in its tulip glass, it makes a firm impression, a taste a little bit sour and refreshing. Ideal alcohol percentage

Into a tulip glass, it had a skyrocket head that almost flowed over the top. Settled into a bubble bath style foam. Pours an orangey color, kind of like a sunset. Smells like funk, I would think this is how James Brown’s music would smell, if it indeed did have a smell, also hints of woods, bread, and pine nuts. Very very light taste, definitely easy drinking. This is the real definition of drinkability. I swished it around to make the taste more prominent and got a light taste of rubbing alcohol. Has a very nice dry finish with a refreshing quality. This beer makes me happy to be alive.

An unclear golden brown beer with a nice frothy head. This beer looks good. The aroma is sour & green apples. The taste is again green apples, specifically like fermented fruit with a dry ending. The head has a nice retention & stays frothy for a long time. This is truly a great beer & a world classic.

Tastes a bit sour, with nice fruit notes of banana, apple, pepper and spice. Very refreshing and clean.

Great drinking this beer at last. Pours maple orange with high carbonation and huge tan head, fruit acidic aroma, yeast, grass and some wild notes, dry flavor with malt, fresh leaves, peach, lemon and pleasant bitter finish, complex and amazing
