Draft, Ange Gardien, 2013. Darker than Orval? Nose is fairly yeasty with signature brett. Big flat head. Lots of yeast and orangey fruitiness. Spicy character, yeasty fullness to the body but seems less assertive on the dry-hopping and the malts are obfuscated somewhat by the yeastiness. Still fairly dry.
Bottle, 2004. Dull orangey-copper, no real head. Perfumey, hoppy, bretty aroma. Light body. Hints of perfume, hop. Shades of its bigger brother, but that’s still not bad. Still, not enough malt to keep things going. 7-2-6-3-13 = 3.0

The aroma is primarily of yeast with notes of coriander. It pours hazy amber with a beutiful lasting off-white head. The flavor is very spicy with notes of coriander, yeast, cloves, wood, hops, and hints of cinnamon.It is quite carbonated, so it runs sparkling over the tongue. The end is dry both from coriander and bitter hops. But the body is thin. The flavor is very complex for such a thin beer. This can definately be used as a thirst quencher after hours of praying. Thanks a lot to Jeppe (Bierkönig) for giving me this rare beer.

Light amber color; generous creamy head, incredible lace.
The classic Orval aroma, hoppy, herbal, almost spicy.
Weak body strength; less bitter and dry than Chimay Dorée, but much better hop character, difficult to describe as it is unique, easy to define as it is Orval !!.
Absolutely drinkable; wonderful style, I love it. Thanks Jacob.

Bottled (2001 version). Reddish amber, lively and crystal clear with no sediment whatsoever in the bottle. Big perfumy orange aroma. Dry, but thin with near watery mouthfeel. Notes of pine needles leading to a bitter, hoppy finish. Not bad for such a light beer, but well short of it's stronger more common brother.
