Funny that is considered simple now. A classic. Not too long ago that was an exotic over here. Only two
Places in all of NYC had chimay on draft. Sheeit. -
One of those beers I wish was two-three % weaker so I could just drink it all day. Orval being the other one
That pepper-y yeast…
Orval isn't 6.2% as seen on the bottle btw... It is when bottled, but due to the Brettanomyces, it keeps fermenting... And rising in ABV... Think it clocks out at around 7... And maybe this is a myth, but I think it says 7 on US labels due to stricter laws there... Anyone?..

The beer in the states has less than the rest of the world i think, bud select has 2.4%,miller64 2.8% low carb types corona 4.1% coors light 4.2%, budwiser is been sue 3 times for watering down their beer, is piss water, I get sick looking at it , the better ones average between 4-6%.
I was in Spain and a friend gave us a few beers his brother brew, I drank two and it felt liked I drank 7 beers, damn it was potent :D, never asked him what the alcohol content was . -
The bottles we get in Norway are also labelled 6,9%:

Rodenbach Caractère Rouge. 50% discount since the bottles were expired… But pasteurised, so a bit of a risk...
It is, however, beautiful beer... A symphony of red fruit...
Great rodenbach glass man. You have some killer bar ware.

I’ve only ever had the fatamorgana which I really liked. What beer is that?

Lemme know, that'un's in me fridge somewhere… Had forgotten about it...
It was better than I expected. Pretty good in fact, without being any more than that. Low carbonisation, mildly oily mouth feel. The orange comes through as a slight acidity which compliments the gentle bitterness of the hops. Think expensive dark chocolate rather than milk chocolate.
