(On tap) Pours an almost clear golden with a creamy, white head leaving laces. Very fresh aroma of citrus and distinct Brett. Light-bodied, dry as a bone and also lots of Brett in the flavour that also has a discreet fruitiness. The finish is dry, lightly tart and only discreetly bitter. An Orval for beginners - extremely quenching and quaffable. 120908

Draught at European Beer Festival, Copenhagen. Lightly hazy golden, brief head. yeasty orangey nose with Brett and hay. Dryish and light bodied, vital and never this. Floral with spicy hops and grain, quite bitter finish. A very drinkable and balanced beer - atypical for the current extreme brewing scene in Denmark. Vert pleasant - something I’d like to see more of!

From tap. Pours slight cloudy orange with a creamy white head. Solid citrusy barnyard aroma, tart and acidic. Smooth and light flavoured beer with a lighter barnyard touch and mild dry wooden brett note. Light finish with a lingering citric and wooden finish. Nice and easy.

EBF08. Very nice citric lemony aroma. Slightly hazy yellow colour. The flavour is a lot milder than the aroma and not as good. Hint of citrus, some grapefruit. A bit lagery as well.
