Bottle from Hop Burns and Black, enjoyed watching Scotland v Morocco. First Orval in years. Pours lightly hazy golden amber with a big fruity white head. Nose is wonderfully complex - caramel, apricot, grape must, some berry notes, gentle citrus. Profile falls somewhere between a blonde and a gueze. Flavour is well balanced, medium sweetness, medium bitterness, light sourness. Medium body, prickly carbonation, refreshingly dry, with a slightly gueze-y must on the finish. Still a beaut.

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.
