ABV: 6.9%
This is the 5th Belgian Trappist brewery I've tried and this is really just more of the same good quality brew. My only complaint with the Orval is that is isn't as balanced as the others. It stays on the bitter side throughout almost like an IPA. There is a hint of sweetness on the nose but it never follows through in the mouth. The mouth is bitter, spicy and yeasty. There are some citrus notes and definitely some barn floor but mostly bitter. I really like this beer but I was slightly more impressed with its competition, hence the sub 90 rating. Enjoy.
Points:89
