Mild smell of sweet malt. Cloudy deep copper colour, very high off-white head. Aroma of malt, raisins, hops, some alcohol. Green apple and herbs in finish. Fizzy carbon. Medium bitter, medium sweet.

Bottle, 2024 vintage. Funky yeast aroma with notes of spicy Belgian yeast, lemony citrus, grassy hops, straw and a bit of barnyard. Pours cloudy golden colored with a large off white head that has excellent retention and little lacing. Starts with yeasty funky spicy Belgian yeast and straw flavors as well as having a lovely mouthfeel. Finishes dry but crisp and refreshing with grassy hops and barnyard flavors. Excellent.
Glas gedronken bij de abdij in Orval.
Oranje-bruin licht troebel bier met een volle schuimkraag die snel wegtrekt.
Aroma is hoppig en fruitig.
De smaak is bitterzoet, moutig, fruitig en kruidig.
Nasmaak is bitter en blijft lekker lang hangen.

Best before... today. Never kept one that long. Lots of nectarines, bracken-like funk. Bone dry. Hints of sherry and boot polish. Carbonation has dropped off but only a bit. Bitterness is lower. Interesting. Happy enough to stick with the 1-2 year olds.

Sometimes it?s good, sometimes it?s bad. Orval is always a bit of an adventure. When it?s on it?s good, when it?s not it?s crap.
Rerate a fresh one 5 years later. This was a good one. Love the Brett funk
