Contrairement aux autres, la brasserie trappiste d'Orval ne produit qu'une seule bière pour le grand public. Elle se caractérise par un arôme intense et une saveur sèche. Entre la première et la deuxième fermentation, un processus supplémentaire de houblonnage à sec est également effectué. Grâce à cela, la bière acquiert son arôme houblonné prononcé et son goût particulièrement sec.
The dry finish is exactly what I look for in a Trappist ale, and the aromatic kick between fermentations really sets it apart. Poured one after dinner and it held its complexity down to the last sip.
I've had a lot of Trappist beers over the years, but this single-batch approach really stands out—the dry, aromatic finish is something you don't forget. The way the second fermentation plays into every sip, it's the kind of beer you want to slow down with, not just chug.
That dry, aromatic finish really carries through every sip — it’s not heavy or syrupy like most Trappist ales I’ve tried. The single-batch focus clearly pays off, because the flavor stays sharp and consistent from the first pour to the last.
