Orval Trappist Ale

6 Jul

Name – Orval Trappist Ale
Country – Belgium
Type – Belgian Pale Ale

Appearance – Poured a clear reddish brown color with frothy white head.

Smell – Sweet fruit smells and just a general sugary type smell.

Taste – Sweet fruits with some slight floral hops in the background and finishes with a bit of an alcohol bite.

I’ve always heard rave reviews about Orval so I knew it was time to try it for once.  While I do believe it is a very good beer, I don’t believe it is the best beer in the world (I have read that a few times from some writers).

Overall Grade – B+
