A Mikkeller interpretation of the classic Trappist ale, Orval. Brett funk in a light fruity pale, that will taste great fresh, but age beautifully for years!

Bottle from AmmersinO, Vienna. Moderate hazy, deep amber body, with a big, stable, frothy, white head, that leaves a lot of lacing. Aroma of lemongrass, apple, citrus, some red fruits, candy, some biscuit. Taste with about the same aromas, good balance between sweet, fruity-sour and bitter. Mouthfeel is medium, oily to creamy, with a lively carbonation and it finishes bitter, sour and sweet, with grass, candy and sour fruit notes. Nice one! Really quaffable, refreshing, well balanced and with distinct, but not too dominant sour fruit notes.

Good cream to amberish tinted head over clear copper-amber beer; yeast fully bottom-clinging. Caramel, (slightly) citrussy hops, garden weeds, roasted carrots. Bitter, toasted, caramel - if without sweetness. Finish has some oxydized cookies, and something resiny to metallic bitterness. Light to medium bodied, feels well-carbonated, slick. Bitter pale ale. Ought to be more widely available.

Tap @ BeerTemple, small sample. Clear dark golden to amber color, medium head. Aroma is very fruity of citrus and strawberry, hint of horseblanket, some citric acid, slight spicy, some Bretty bubblegum. Bit sweet in taste, bit bitter, slight tart but not much of the citric acid. Very enjoyable beer. Not quite like Orval though, although I get the pronouncation joke :-)

Bottle. Aroma bubble gum, juicy sour. Tempting. Amber colour. Taste has the same bubble gum and rather restrained sourness. Moderately strong barnyard aromas. Good introductory farmhouse ale. But lacks more character and courage.

Draught at Publick House, 3/2/14
Deep amber colored beer with plentiful off-white head.
Pure brett acids and light amber malts in the nose. Ok, I can get in to this. Lovely spice from the styrian hops and just full and lush and sniffable. Didnt realize what this beer was when I had it and needless to say, I was very very happy. The hops are done very well; extremely well hopped golden beer. Nicely spicy, earthy and a touch grainy, but very acidic in a brett sort of way.
I swear this tastes barrel-aged, not that I think we really got an unexpected barrel-aged version, but there do seem to be woody, liqueur-like notes. Slightly fruity and maybe it’s just the extent of the raw hoppiness, which is indeed delicious. Anyways, this is a hell of a tribute to Orval, tough to compare to Matilda, as it’s a little bit maltier and more complex, but still very delicious.

Bottle. Pours a near clear gold with a large white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has a bit of light tart fruit with some tropical fruits and a good amount of citrus. Flavor has more grassy hops with a bit of citrus and tropical fruits with a bread backbone.

(Draught at Beer Temple, Amsterdam, 26 Feb 2014) Reddish amber colour with dense, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with caramel, citrus and slightly sour hints of oak wood. Malty, fruity taste with slightly sourish notes of dried fruit, caramel, citrus, oak wood, peppery yeast and hints of sweet and sour berries. Slightly bitter-sweet finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. A slightly peculiar yeast character, almost leaning in the direction of Flemish red, makes it quite strange. But refreshing. Nice one.

Bottle, Brew Dog.com. Poured a hazy amber colour with a generous off-white head. Nose was citrus, hop and brett. Flavour showed yeast, fruits, a little funk and dried out towards the finish. Not in Orval’s league but a very handy stab.

Bottle in an orval glass - oh sweet irony - Color is amber - remindung to orval , plus less fine and stable foam . Smell is brett , Bit to high carbo ( but very close to perfect ) Brett , somewhat bitter . A good beer on its one , and very close to orval ! The very subtile diffrences are that this one has less intensevfoam , more carbo , bit less hop , and a tiny bit watery . To bad it forces to be compared , cause its a good beer on its own .
