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!

14th June 2016: Shrewsbury Beer Share, think Mat brought it. Hazy orange/brown with a beige topping. Malts lead the way in both the nose and taste, fruity notes abound within the malty molasses and give a ’fruit pie’ feel to the flavours. Liked it.

Bottle thanks to Fergus. It pours lightly hazy amber with a thick white head. The aroma is sweet, tangy fruits, bready, fruit cake, pear, tart tatin, toffee and cake. The taste is bitter, earthy, brown bread, cereal, toasted grain, light apice and a touch of alcohol with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Decent enough, but not standout.

Bottle shared at the Watford tasting, many thanks to me. From brewdog online. A bright golden orange with a lively frothy off white head. Aroma is funky, bretty, cola, quite like Orval. Flavour is composed, woody dry grains, straw, cola, bretty, horsey. Palate is crisp and dry, highish carbonation, spritzy carbonation. Decent imitation.

Bottle shared in Watford - many thanks to Fergus! Pours clear gold with a big, frothy off-white head. Citric aroma, with light funk, a little wood, orange peel. Light-medium sweet flavour with notes of rindy citrus, woody dryness, a bit of grain, melon. Medium bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Dry and fairly bitter, with further citrus peel, grainy bread. Enjoyable beer.

Szép nagy, hosszan tartó, halvány bézs színű hab. Színe vörösbe hajló sötét borostyán. Illata erősen vadélesztős, komlós, fűszeres, kis citrusos, gyümölcsös beütéssel. Nem semmi keserűsség, a vadélesztő ízével, gyenge citrusos, savanykás beütéssel, jelzés értékűen kiegészülve egy kis karamellel. Száraz, fanyar utóíz, hosszan tartó vadélesztős keserűsséggel. Testes sör.

(330ml bottle from Systembolaget) Pours a very lightly hazed amber with a massive dense off-white head that fades very slowly with spotty lace. Aroma of sweetish vaguely fruity light caramel malt, grains, bitter Noble-type hops, dry grass, floral, lemon zest, dry yeasty notes and a bit of funky Brett and wet straw. Palate is fairly dry with moderate bitterness and funk, with a little caramel at the core. Fruity notes, very herbal and grassy from the hops, slightly earthy Brett, some grain, almost an oaked character in the finish with lots of residual bitter herbs. Sort of tannic feel to the aftertaste. Medium body, above average carbonation. Nice enough stuff, not really a match for Orval but not bad either.

Sampled as 50 cL can, with 7,6% abv reported. Deep hazy copper and amber coloured body with a rich, thick, three centimetre tall tan head that leaves a pretty ugly lace on the glass. Aroma of dry yeast, grain, hops, funk, spice, tart and sour elements, but mainly a nice complex smell throughout. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong pungent yeast flavour up front with a lot of malt, some spices, a bit of a herbalness, some grass, all finishing very dry and oaky from the flavours. Aftertaste shows a lot of depth and complexity with the rich yeast and malt elements throughout along with a light sweetness at the end. Overall, a surprisingly nice and complex offering from Mikeller without breaking the bank too much for this one. I sampled this 50 cL can, purchased from Murray’s Cheese in New York, New York on 06-December-2015 for US$6,49 sampled a few hours after returning from Murray’s and New York again on 30-May-2016 at home in Washington.

Pour is a dark amber with a huge tan head. Aroma is a big musty funk like some old clothes that have been sitting in a cellar for too long. I also get some vinuos wine like quality. Flavor is fresh herbs with some green apple and some bitter grapefruit peel. Finish is a bit tart with some pepper. Full of flavor but also dry and palate cleansing at the same time. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and they pretty much nailed Orval here.
