Funky, dank aroma with citrus, coriander, butterscotch and oak. Taste is mildly bitter up front, properly bitter at the back with lingering spice. Like last time, chalky, and even faintly smoky undertones. Medium bodied, prickly carbonation, very dry, faint warmth at the end. Nice one.

From the 2015 bottle. Pours dark orange with a tall, foamy head. Aroma is cherry, citrus, spice .. tomato, kind of funky. Taste is mildly bitter/sour with a dryness that stays constant throughout. Smoke undertones. Chalky. Finishes tart with a hint of warmth. Body is medium with a pronounced carbonation. It’s pretty good and has a fair bit of complexity but I‘m not overwhelmed. 7.5

330 ml Bottle. 07/2017. Pours with a hazy, deep amber color and a large white head. Nose is very herbal, vinegar, ripe fruits, caramel and some yeast. Taste follows the nose with nice hops and a very nice dry finish.

12-10-17 // draft at À L'Ange Gardien in Orval. Cloudy orange beer, big white head. Really loved this lighter version of Orval. Typical Orval yeastiness is definitely there but there's this fresh hop aroma. As the big brother a unique experience and definitely worth the trip.

33cl bottle at El Purgatorio, Cartagena, Spain. 6.2% alcohol. Pours hazy loaded gold with abundant and persistent white foam, irregular. Aroma is resinous and grass. Body is kind of light, with abundant carbonation, maybe excessive. Taste is mostly bitter and dry, very low sweetness. Finish is relatively short and dry, with some residual bitterness.

Bottle at home of this famous beer. First: nice shaped bottle of course. Cloudy orange color, big beige head, looks good. Something special in the taste, difficult to describe, but is a good special....taste also stronger than the abv (6,2%).
