Brunhilde from Livebarrels and Orval: Belgian power and refinement on Maltese
Fragrant malt base, Belgian yeast, elegant hopping with Saaz and Styrian Golding — Brunhilde from Livebarrels is inspired by the legendary Valkyries: intense yet balanced, smooth with a clean finish. Alongside it, Orval from Brasserie d’Orval — for some an essential daily drink, for others a cult item to age in the cellar: simply one of the best beers in the world. Both available online on Maltese with shipping throughout Italy.
