Brasserie d'Orval

Belgian Pale Ale·Belgium·4.5% ABV·One of 45 Belgian Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Orval Vert's bitter and herbal character. Orval Vert, also known as Petit Orval, is the abbey's lighter table beer in the tradition of a Belgian patersbier, the everyday beer brewed for a monastery's own table. It was long reserved for the monks and is poured on draught only at À l'Ange Gardien, the inn opposite the abbey, which the brewery names as its sole outlet. It drinks dry and bitter, with herbal and grassy hop notes, a light fruitiness and a lean, brisk body. Next to Orval it is simpler and less layered, yet keeps the same bitter backbone.
