Brasserie d'Orval Orval Trappist Ale, bottled November 13th, 2023, best by November 13th, 2028, 6.9% ABV, 32 IBU. I rated this 4.02 in 2016. Looks like the usual 127 fingers of head that leaves huge chunky lacing. Not really a fan of Belgian Pales, but I try not to miss a tasting event if I can get the beer. Last several years I couldn't find an Orval, but recently found this at a small local store notorious for their old beers, and some were from 2019. I was shocked this was so new, actually. And now, it's time to get my mustache yeasty. Hmm tasting better than the two year old Orval I had in 2016.

 

SN West Ghost IPA after a big lot of chicken jalapeno brats....oh man.
This beer is worthy. Cheers BAs!!
It's really great to see all the posts today from so many different places. We are one. We are Beer Advocate.

 

Drinking this NOW, so as I can have more, and better beer LATER

Their 'regular' (alcohol) version is solid.
This one? NAaaaa
There's a catty, wet wood, odd citrus fruit thing going on in aroma and flavor.
Rescue Club Pils (also brewed by Zero Gravity) is far better IMO, and shall remain my go-to NA lager. Cheers!

 

Thanks Vann, and the reason is we just booked our annual trip south for October

 

Gravlax, a Hazy DIPA from Phase Three, with Strata, Simcoe & Talus. LFG, this weather is glorious, BAs!

This album is so satisfying.

 

2 Cele’s left after this one. Still tasting the grapefruit from the Red Sweater. Loving this Celebration though. Holds up well. Cheers

 

It's pretty much right in the wheelhouse for WC IPA style from my POV but then a beer like Pizza Port Swamis might just blow it away. I dunno. They're a little bit different and both kick butt.

 

@LarryV is the guru for that, he’ll have you a pro before you can finish a beer

 

I can see why.

 

Piper has the same look I do when I see Heady Both are beauties. Love Piper's eyes. Cheers
