Orval
A Trappist Tripel
“Orval brews one beer, and brews it to unique perfection. Dry, with a huge effervescent head, Orval Trappist Ale gains some of its character from a complex fermentation schedule: a Belgian ale yeast is added first for primary fermentation; then a variety of yeast strains are added midway through the process; finally a third dose of yeast is added at bottling time. Amber-orange in color, dry-hopped, and always bottled in the Orval skittle-shaped bottle. “

In the Orval logo, the trout with the golden ring in its mouth commemorates
Princess Mathilde, who dedicated the grounds for the monastery when, in answer to her prayers, the trout returned the wedding ring she had dropped into a spring.
