Jan 24, 2009 Bottle: Poured a clear copper color with a creamy off white head. The aroma is a light fruit. The taste is smooth grain, malt, and light hop. Very impressive for a low ABV, do the monks know what they are doing or what?

Jan 11, 2009 33 cL bottle at DHVL. Pours clear and golden orange with a dense white and creamy head. Aroma is soft malty and with a very minor brett note. Flavour starts light sweet malty with a vague brett citric note. Dry wooden brett note on the back of the tongue into the finish. Smooth and easy. Light peppery finish.

Jan 9, 2009 Bottle at De Heeren van Liedekercke. Good grassy hop aroma, reminding me of the bigger Orval. Clear dark amber colour. Nice big stable creamy off-white head. The flavour is mildly hoppy. Has the familiar Orval hop flavour, only less powerful. Creamy texture, nice mild carbonation. Not an outstanding beer in my opinion, but good, refreshing and well-balanced, and very good considering the ABV.

Oct 12, 2008 Bottle at Guardian Angel Cafe near the abby. Pours an orange-gold coloured brew, less floaties in there than in hte normal Orval. Slight watery taste but surprisingly complex for this ABV. Very nice and good to drink.

Sep 20, 2008 Bottle at Akkurat, Stockholm. Medium, but persistent head. Amber as the mother beer. Brettanomyces nose and flavours, pronounced bitterness. Light body. Distinctive, as you would expect, but the fathers are missing out if they only drink this beer and not the "big" Orval.
