by Brasserie du l'Abbeye du Val-Dieu
The Brasserie Val-Dieu must be one of the most beautiful locations of all the breweries in Belgium. Located in the north-eastern corner of Belgium that sees the border with both The Netherlands and Germany nearby. In the quiet town of Aubel, the brewery is housed within the historic Notre-Dame due Val-Dieu Abbey.
The beers of this small brewery are a perfect match for its home, mostly traditional Belgian styles made beautifully. And there isn’t a style too much more traditional than a witbier.
Pouring a slightly cloudy straw colour, this beer has the usual (modern witbier-style) hints of orange citrus and coriander, along with the witbier yeast notes of banana, pear and the slight peppery character.
To taste it is as you’d expect. A fairly lively mouthfeel that sits lightly on the palate, the crisp barley and wheat body blend with the slight fruit sweetness and spicy herbal hit for a beer that is super-refreshing and very moreish.
If you ever get the chance to visit the Abbey, and the town of Aubel, it is common to see monks about on the streets. And while they aren’t actually involved in the beer (the last Monk moved out of the Abbey in the early 2000’s), there remains a strong religious connection making this a certified Abbey Beer.
