Description
The beer of Val Dieu is synonymous of quality and authenticity. It is the only Belgian abbey beer to be 100% brewed in a living abbey such as the famous Belgian Trappist beers. The monks of the Abbey of Val Dieu are the ones who are at the origin of the beers which are brewed today on the site. Historically, the Cistercian monks were famous for their qualities as brewers. The monks of Val Dieu are in line with this reputation.

My 820th top 50 beer rating. 750ml corked and crowned bottle. Clear amber orange pour. Pillowy beige head. Earthy, yeasty malt aroma hints at cooked apples. Zesty malt flavor upfront. Notes of stewed fruits, caramel, mild spice and sherry. Lots of clinging lace right until the last sip.

0.33 l bottle from 'SpeciaalBierPakket.nl', best before August 2026. Hazy, orangeish amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, rather yeasty-spicy and slightly fruity-floral aroma of banana, clove, pear and some honey. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, rather yeasty-spicy and slightly fruity-floral taste of banana, clove, nutmeg, some pear and light honey, followed by a short, gently bitter, slightly dry finish. Medium body, smooth but fairly effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Very much like a Hefeweizen, not bad at all, just somehow not what I would have expected from a Belgian Christmas beer.
