Orval beer is a high fermentation beer. The ageing process adds a fruity note, which strikes a subtle balance between the beer’s full-bodied yet complex flavour and bitterness.
The beer was first brewed in 1931 and owes its unparalleled taste to the quality of the water, the hops and the yeast used. The brewery has selected very aromatic and unique hop varieties, which hark back to the first brewmaster of Orval, who hailed from Bavaria. The beer’s aromas are very pronounced while maintaining the right level of bitterness thanks to the English method of dry hopping.
The various stages of fermentation – combined fermentation with the original yeast and with wild yeast, followed by fermentation in the bottle – mean the beer must age for some time and requires numerous quality controls.

Bowling dummy bottle, unique label with unidentified animal on it. Huge foam when filling, nice amber color, slightly opalescent-unfiltered.Beautiful beer. Its aroma is caramel, with a fruity orange, very sophisticated. The beer was very "creamy" at the time of filling, it seems special. The taste is extremely complex and delicate. Tropical fruity, orange with a sweet sparkling, yet bitter and real beer. Fantastic and very unique. The added sugar here is not at all disturbing. One of the best Belgian I've drunk so far, because of its very delicate aftertaste. Just the right body, just good carbonic acid, the foam stays great and heavy. Super! Highly recommended !!!

Bowling bábu üveg, egyedi címke, rajta meghatározhatatlan állattal. Kitöltéskor hatalmas hab, szép borostyán szín, kicsit opálos-szűretlen.Gyönyörű sör. Illata karamelles, mellette gyümölcsös, narancsos, nagyon kifinomult. Kitöltéskor is nagyon "krémes" volt a sör, különlegesnek tűnik. Az íze extrém komplex és finom. Trópusi gyümölcsös, narancsos, mellette édes pezsgőre emlékeztető, mégis keserű és igazi sör. Fantasztikus, és nagyon egyedi. A hozzáadott cukor itt egyáltalán nem zavaró. Egyik legjobb belga, és általában az egyik legjobb sör, amit eddig ittam, a rendkívül finom utóíze miatt. Pont megfelelő test, pont jó szénsav, hab megmarad, mint a madártej. Remek! Kiemelten ajánlott!!!
