500 years of hard work went into making this beer that features the aroma of orange peel, coriander and herbs that the merry monks imported from sunny Curacao. Speaking of which: pouring Hoegaarden is just like letting the sun fall into your glass: light yellow and naturally murky. And the soft foam adds a cloudy finish. And then there’s the soft taste, light and slightly sweet and sour and with subtle citrus notes… ah, just go ahead and taste it instead of reading about it!

Lager beer produced by bottom fermentation. Premium Lager.
Brewed with water, malt, maize, hops. The best raw materials, a long maturation and the pure, light water from the Biella Alps have given this beer, since 1846, a full and refined taste. It is a well-balanced beer with a notable floral/fruity aroma thanks to the selected yeasts used in the brewing process.

In contrast to all the others, the Orval Trappist brewery makes only one beer for the general public. It has an intensely aromatic and dry character. Between the first and second fermentations there is also an additional dry-hopping process. Through this the beer acquires its pronounced hoppy aroma and extra dry taste.

Rochefort 10 is the strongest of the monastery's three beers at 11.3% ABV. This is a beer to savour, but is perfectly balanced and not so heavy as to make it difficult to enjoy. It is very dark - almost black - and cloudy. The aromas are very complex, with malt, chocolate, cocoa, damson, prunes, raisins and a general berry-fruity and porty feel.
