Commercial Description:
Bottle Conditioned.
Ingredients: Pilsner malt (French barley from Champagne) & caramalt; German Hallertaur & American Galena hops. Yeast & sugar added to the bottled beer.
Chimay Rouge (Red) is noted for its coppery colour which makes it particularly attractive. Topped with a creamy head, it gives off a light, fruity apricot aroma produced by the fermentation. The taste perceived in the mouth is a balance confirming the fruity nuances noticed in the fragrance. Its taste, which imparts a silky sensation to the tongue, is made refreshing by a light touch of bitterness. To the palate, the taster perceives a pleasant astringency which complements the flavour qualities of this beer very harmoniously. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised.

Really sharp and utterly dry Trappist. Not very much to my liking. Foamed a lot from the bottle, very dark color but taste is not for me. Gladly, the aftertaste is gone like a gust of wind. Not my favorite.

750mL bottle. Pours a clear reddish brown with a thick and reasonably persistent head. Aromas of yeast and malt. Mild fruity flavour, strong malt, medium sweetness, slight sourness. Medium bodied, lively carbonation, smooth with a slight bitter finish.

In bottle; pours a red/brown cloudly color. Aroma was not great, might of been the glass it was poured into. taste was good, almost too mild in body though. Very smooth and very easy drinking. I good beer, but I prefer the Blue

Cloudy brown pour, medium soapy-creamyish head, slightly tanned. Aroma of old beer, fruits, caramel, oak. Dare I say somewhat thin flavour and mouthfeel. Can’t really place it. Probably need to try it again sometime.

Questa birra, di colore rosso ambrato e dalla schiuma compatta di media persistenza, all’olfatto sprigiona piacevoli e astringenti sentori di frutti di bosco. Buono il corpo, ha un gusto dolce, elegante nel suo complesso. il finale è bilanciato con note luppolate.

Exactly as advertised, one of the finest Belgian ales. Smooth, fruity, creamy, wonderful beer. I’m moving to Belgium.

Great freakin’ beer, almost as good as the Blue, no need to call out all flavor points, leave that to the wine putzes! Drink up!!
