| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 3, 2009 Lips of Faith bottling. Slightly hazy light yellow-gold with a very fine, thin white head. Aroma consists mainly of a dry, leafy herbaceousness with an odd cannbis resin aroma. Dry honey notes intermingle with a touch of grainy malt and dry herbs. Body is light with an alcohol presence in the finish. Not terribly interesting. blutt59 (2145), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 25, 2009 Haxy yellow with good carbonation. Nose is really striking - lavender soap, arugula, wild grass and dandelion leaves. Flavor is more the tart horseblanket/barnyard Brett upfront and still the peppery flowers behind, with a crisp, dry finish with nice spicy pepper. Really interesting and very nice effort. talon1117 (626), Bellvue, Colorado, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 24, 2009 Pours a hazy, pale yellow color with a fairly small, white, pillowy head which is mostly diminishing and leaves no lace. Nose is lightly grassy, faintly floral, somewhat doughy from the yeast, and filled with some honey and grains. Flavor is similar with honey, light clove, some grains, leafy hops do make a small presence and dry the beer out a bit, just a bit of doughy yeast. Palate is lively to fizzy, light to medium, and somewhere between watery and creamy. Finishes very bland with some leafy hops and moderately light bitterness filling the mouth with, light honey, and almost soda water note. Just a very boring beer, nothing bad but not much flavor and not much complexity. Orval is not one of favorites by any means but this is not even similar to Orval. riversideAK (2739), Shoreline, Washington, USA
