Turns out had not tried this one. 2025 batch.
Smell - weak hops, weak belgian tones.
Foam- thin belgian tones, hops, bitter tones. Head is large, white in color.
Appearance - beer-specific cap, nice classic bottle. Clear orange amber.
From - snifter
Taste - bitter tones, hops, faint pulling bitterness, some faint belgian tones. Long-lasting bitter aftertaste. Dunno, for me it feels a bit harsh aftertaste.

Delightful. 13 months old. That classic mix of hoppy citrus and earthy funk. Orval always dominates.

Vintage 2021 (20.01), taste in 20.08.2023 (poured into orginal Orval glass). Fajne tresciwe, wieksze nagazowanie, piana szybko rosnie niczym ilosc nielegalnej imigracji. Metnawe kwaskowe i bardzo chmielne i ziolowe. Pod koniec lata doskonale.

Vintage 2022 (06.01), taste in 09.10.2022, a wiec na swiezo, jest lekko, poczatkowo nawet wodnisto, spora rosnaca w oczach piana, trwala, metnawe ale srednio, choc osad drozdzowy byl spory, tu pojawia seie cytrusowa nuta, wiecej chmielnosci, wytrawnosci, rumianku, oraz na zakaczenie niewielki posmak slonecznikowego prazonego ziarna. Z tych 2 testow jednego dnia 5 letni Orval i polroczny, chyba ten swiezy mi lepiej podszedl, w przypadku Orvala im starsze tym nie do konca sie smak poprawia w dobra strone.

Two bottle from Vintage 2017 (04.10). This Trappist Ale from online: winnicalidla.pl. Drink in 2018 (16.11) in La Trappe goublet. temperatura 13 stopni. Piwo syknelo dosc glosno a to tylo kapselek, spore nagazowanie, od razu swiezy aromat sfermentowanych zielonych jablek. Pieknie wyglada spora piama i bardzo trwala, zadkosc w wieksosci piw trapistow, oblepia kielicha, srednio trwala. Barwa miedziano-bursztynowa, osad nieco zmetnil piwo. W smaku wytrawne, lambickowate, winogrona biale zdeptane spoconymi stopami, jablka, zielone gruszki, pigwa i nawracajace biale winogrona. Na podniebieniu pozostaje goryczka. Klasowe, z gola inne piwo.
Vintage 2017 (04.10) but taste in 09.10.2022. Five years and five days old trappist ale. No tu nieco jest inaczej, takze syknelo, piana pienista srednia, srednio trwala, bardzo metniste i drozdzowe, pachnie suszonymi jablkami i starym kredensem lub poniemieskim drewnianym suchym stolikiem. W smaku suszone jablka, jakis susz owocow, dobre, drozdzowozytnie klimaty. dosc ciemnawe.
