This beer was first brewed in 1931. It owes its unparalleled taste to the quality of the water, the hops and the yeast used to brew it. The brewery has selected very aromatic and unique hop varieties, which hark back to the first brewmaster of Orval, who hailed from Bavaria in Germany. Orval beer is a high fermentation beer. The ageing process adds a fruity note, which strikes a subtle balance between the beer’s full-bodied yet complex flavour and bitterness.
