Orval Trappist Ale
Yes this beer seems to recieve an ample portion of praise on this website but I can't do it....I was highly disappointed. The beer looked bleak...it was dark and cloudy and just not very inviting. The head, which is the best aspect to the beer, was terrific though. It looks like shaving cream it was so thick. The taste was a let down. It was sometimes sweet and a tad hoppy like other Belgian Pale Ales....other times it was sour and funky and even somewhat salty. There is no tasty balance to this beer. To me, this drinks better in the bottle than in the glass where it tend sto get flat very very quickly. Not a horrible beer but way below my expectations.
