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.

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Aroma is Belgian yeast with fruity and hoppy notes, some grass, citrus, lemon, floral notes, pale malt. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, medium body. Pleasant dry hopping, nicely balanced, good stuff.

Аромат шикарный, темные фрукты, карамель, легкая пористость. Пена потрясающая, цвет темный но прозрачный. Вкус весьма питкий при 10 градусов, но с сильной карбонизацией. Ощущается солодовая и сладкая карамель, темные фрукты, немного сухофруктов. Послевкусие плавное, немного сливочное, очень сладкое на глотке. Карамель и коричневый сахар остается на губах. В целом просто супер эль из Бельгии.

Can (from Alko web). Red colour with a mediumsized pink foamy head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is cherry juice, and quite sweet overall. Flavour is cherries with some mild parfumed tones and a bit sweet grains to it.

En tulipa, color dorado, turbia, espuma blanca de media retención y escaso residuo. Aroma fresco y frutal, con notas de levadura, cereal, uva blanca, especias... En boca es de cuerpo medio a ligero, de entrada dulce, muy afrutada, especiada (pimienta), maltosa, final ligeramente floral y levemente amargo. Puede no ser perfecta, pero nadie puede negar que esta es una cerveza agradable, rica y disfrutable
