Orval Trappist Ale – Brasserie d’Orval S.A.

A: Amber orange in color with a good amount of head that lingers forever.

S: The nose is yeasty and very funky, prominent horse blanket smell as well.

T: Slight tartness, yeast and that subtle barnyard/wet hay funk. Perfectly balanced malty/hoppy/sweetness.

M: Light body, high carbonation finished very dry.

D: One of the best beers all the way around. Very good and pairs well with a lot of things.

A: Amber orange in color with 2+ fingers of foam

S: The nose is yeasty and a little funky with some tart apple notes.

T: Slight tartness, along with yeast and that subtle barnyard/wet hay funk. This is not necessarily bitter or sweet/malty in any way that I can tell.

M: The body is on the lighter side, with a high level of carbonation and a dry finish..

D: One of the more “interesting” Trappist beers
