About this product
A world-famous beer and rightly so. This Belgian Trappist beer is a delicious slightly sweet pale ale brewed with subtle, citrusy hops. So far, so normal, but then the beer is dry hopped and bottle fermented with Brettanomyces, which over time eats all the sugar in the beer and leaves behind a herbal-dry beer unlike any other drink in the world. Loaded with umami like flavours, a touch of caramel and a strong zesty orange pith flavour, it’s truly one of the best beers ever made.

Plenty going onA great, well-balanced & complex dark beer. If you're an ale drinker who doesn't have much truck with 'lager' then give this a go. It may change your mind.
-
World classic beerA lovely mix of butterscotch and brett. It's spawned many imitations but few can hold a candle to the original!

king of beersdark and malty hoppy absolute perfection in a bottle the true king of belgian beers, despite the 6.2% strength its an easy drinker just be careful of the sediment

Belgian classicBeautiful Belgian beer. An absolute classic, dry and herby.

Trappist originalThe only beer made by the monks in the Abbaye D'Orval there is a wonderful story about the fish with a gold ring in its mouth that appears on the label. At 6.2% and bottle fermented I expected more spent yeast to be present in the bottle but found very little, it is a little clouded but is a deeply golden colour in the glass. This beer qualifies as a true 'Trappist' and is a complex taste (we are told by those that know a lot more than me), all I can say is that I enjoyed drinking this unique beer again and I'll be back for more.

ExcellentTop drawer beer and top class service from beer merchants
-
Classic belgian aleComplex, dry and earthy. It always tastes a bit different, depending on when you open the bottle - more hoppy when young, and more yeasty if you let it age. Great beer either way!
-
Fantastic beer if this is what you are intoFantastic beer if this is what you're into! And top drawer customer service after I received a broken bottle from DPD!

One of my fave beersPretty unique dry-hopped brett pale ale from the Wallonian Trappist masters
-
lovely classic Belgian sour beerAll time favourite introduction to the sour beers that are now becoming very popular. Light brown in appearance with a good foamy head. Slightly sour tasting, rich malty sweetness with a dry finish
-
Lovely unique beerAlways good to have a few in the cupboard and age them to see the difference in flavour.
-
FavouriteOne of my favourites, using an Orval glass makes it even better! Hoppy and creamy head.
-
Possibly the bestFantastic and a real treat when I open the bottle at just the right time…
-
WonderfulLeave it for 18 months from bottle date for a truly incredible beer :-)
-
Surely the best beer in the world?A beer to be savoured, a real treat. So hoppy. Best enjoyed out of the Orval glass with the fish and the ring.
-
And did those feet...Orval - the benchmark Trappist ale. Copper-coloured, creamy head (pour carefully to get it all in its beautiful glass). Complex flavours topped off with that funky farmhouse yeasty taste the Belgians call " the feet of angels". Probably my favourite beer in all the world.
-

Different every timeI have had many bottles of Orval and due to the Brett yeast they are never the same, but they are always good. Ranging from hoppy when young to lively and funky (good funk
