        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 .

            I looked it up and was almost right… 1/10th of a % of...  😢

            This beer is 6.2% when released in Europe, US labels say 6.9% due to labeling laws.

              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.

                    Maybe so. Maybe not

                      Thanks.

                      Omnipollo online store opened just long enough for me to snag these…

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

                                ^Had that from a can about a week ago… Superb stuff indeed...

                                This is growing on me... Lotsa vanilla... Bit thin but oily mouthfeel... Discrete...

                                      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.

                                        Just curious,did you smell the orange before you tasted it?

                                          Nope, but I suspect my sense of smell is permanently compromised.

                                            Had a few different beers from this brewery and they've all been good.  I'm going to have to start putting these into the regular rotation.
