Did You Know? The Timeless Legacy of Orval 🇧🇪🍺

Orval bottle and glass being served

Belgium is home to some of the world’s most legendary beers, and Orval stands out as one of the most unique. Brewed by Trappist monks at Orval Abbey, this amber-hued ale is famous for its distinctive taste and dry-hopped character.

A Beer Steeped in Tradition

Orval’s origins trace back to the Abbaye d’Orval, founded in 1070. The legend says a grieving widow lost her ring in a spring, only for a trout to return it. She called it a miracle and funded the abbey—hence the iconic trout and ring logo.

What Makes Orval Special?

🐟 A Brew with a Story – Inspired by the abbey’s centuries-old legend and history.

🍊 Unique, Complex Flavor – Aged and dry-hopped, with notes of citrus, barnyard funk, and peppery spice.

🍾 Evolves Over Time – Bottle-conditioned, meaning it develops richer flavors as it matures.

🍺 One of a Kind – Unlike most Trappist beers, Orval is a single, unrepeatable brew made only at Orval Abbey.

A Beer for the Ages

From its hazy amber color to its earthy, hoppy, and slightly tart finish, Orval is a beer that rewards patience and appreciation. Whether fresh or aged, it delivers a truly one-of-a-kind drinking experience.
