Orval
Orval is a Belgian Trappist beer known for its complex flavor profile that balances bitterness, fruitiness, and malt sweetness. Brewed by monks at Orval Abbey, it undergoes a unique fermentation process involving both primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks and refermentation in the bottle with yeast and Brettanomyces, which adds depth and a dry, Champagne-like quality. It features a golden color, aromatic notes of hops and fruit, with a slightly cloudy appearance. Orval is appreciated by beer enthusiasts for its craftsmanship, distinctive taste, and the tradition of monastic brewing.
