hazy golden to bright orange colour, one inch dense and stable white head; aroma of grainy, floral honey, earthy-yeasty and slight fruity notes; taste is the same with some apricot or peach; not bad at all!

At a tasting, thanks, small stable bubbly head, cloudy quite dark orange color, aroma of red wine vinegar, vanila, some onion and red fruit creeping in, flavor of red wine and red fruit with some chocolate and vanial behind, mellow light to medium sourness with some sweetness blending in, A bit heavy but still really nice and enjoyable.

Il suffirait donc de mettre de la cannelle dans une bière pour en faire une bière d’hiver ?!!! C'est très certainement ce que pense la brasserie De Leite...Et bien non ! Nous allons tout droit vers les saisons de Noël ou autre gueuze de Noël. Vous me direz, c'est une idée pour Orval, un peu de cannelle, un peu de réglisse et hop ! Voici une Orval de noël !! L'hiver est encore en Belgique ou en France une saison où le temps se rafraîchit…Un peu de chaleur dans une bière d'hiver me paraît un ingrédient primordial, absolument absent dans ce Bon Homme d'Hiver qui ne ferait pas se réchauffer un Bon Homme de neige. Décevant donc pour une bière moyenne. En verre, nous sommes sur un brun limpide surmonté d'une mousse beige d'un cm. A la dégustation c'est aigrelet avec des arômes de caramel, de malts torréfiés et sur le final de cannelle. Corpulence et longueur sont très moyennes et une petite astringence se fait de plus ressentir. Bref pas exceptionnel, et surtout pas d’hiver !

Bottle bought at sterk. Pours a nice brown with a big head. Aroma is lovely, lots of acidity, loads of sour cherries, some sweetness, fruity. Medium body. Fruity and acidic, the sour cherries dominate. Short sweet and sour finish. Really nice, finish is lacking a bit.

Tap at beerlovers bar. Pours unclear yellow blonde. Small white head. Smell is funky, mild smoked tart, wheat (?). Taste is tart, dry, mild smoked, not much fruit. Some oak' malty finish. Better than I remember the other 3 versions to be.
