Just tried Orval for first time with high hopes. Been drinking a lot of Belgian beers lately: chimay red and blue, la fin du monde, victory's wild devil, new belgium triple, local micro triple and really liked them all. La fin has been my favorite so far.
Anyways Orval has such a reputation that I had to try it. All I get from this beer is medicinal, horsey and hoppy. Had a hard time finishing it. It was bottle 30/12/2009 and good till 30/12/2014. Bought at Loglis in Rockford, Il.
Almost feel guilty writing this considering all the praise I see for this beer.
