This classic Belgian Trappist Blond Ale is golden orange in colour, supporting a fluffy white head. It has a fruity aroma, with a bretty yeast funk in the background. A complex combination of flavours come in waves. First a little tart sourness, then fruit flavours of pear and green apple, with a crisp malt backbone and gentle spicing. The cultured Orval yeast, along with the Brettanomyces yeast, add further layers of flavour and complexity. A good level of carbonation enhances the peppery spikes, and contributes to a pleasant bitter finish.
