Un bel équilibre. Belle apparence légèrement trouble, arômes fruités, malt caramel ou biscuit , belle présence en bouche avec une belle amertume moyennement longue. Facile à boire, mais pour une trappiste je m’attendais à plus d’arômes, d’épices... Elle est toutefois un bel exemple d’équilibre. Très accessible.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Sensei_Tohru (20) - Cheshire, ENGLAND - DEC 28, 2011
Bottled 28/10/10. Appearance is amber in colour with a volatile head. Aroma of orange, marmalade, hops. Taste is fairly sweet and tingly on the tongue owing to the carbonation, but dominated by the bitterness of the hops which follow through into the finish. Pretty good stuff.
5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20 arvonetics (8) - Somerville, Massachusetts, USA - DEC 27, 2011 does not count
This may be my favorite beer of all time. I feel as though I could identify Orval in a glass next to a dozen others by the head alone.
Orval’s delicate balance and expansive singularity set it apart as a world class beer, and belongs elevated on high with such masterpieces as the Ghent Altarpiece, the Pantheon, and Port Ellen.
Orval’s quiet dominance of subtlety and complexity will always set it apart.

4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20 keanex (186) - Williamstown, New Jersey, USA - DEC 23, 2011
Poured from a small bottle bottled on 10-3-2011 into my tulip glass.
A: Hazy orange brown, almost like carbonated iced tea. Carbonation bubbles plenty floating up to meet a light tan white head that is slowly dissipating on the side but staying up in the middle making a mound.
S: Light floral and citrus with some juniper berries. Very pleasant and inoffensive.
T: Very fresh tasting, floral notes take the cake here, but I notice some citrus hints here with a slight yeasty taste to it.
M: Rather light bodied with a lot of carbonation makes this very easy to down.
O: This is my first Trappist beer and I like it. Very easy to drink with a nice flavor to it. I’ll be trying more.
