LeMat (11), France Aug 18, 2009 Chimay Bleue is kind of awesome. Aroma is great, brown body, white-brown head. Just awesome. Try it ! arrogantb (695), Denver, Colorado, USA Aug 17, 2009 I popped a bottle of this just for the hell of it. it was dark brown-red with a fluffy, billowy head. It smells like dark fruits and yeasty. Good yeasty fruity flavor reminiscent of the Chimay red. This was good but not my favorite belgian, I prefer tripels.

Reviewed on: 11-26-2007 04:01:11 TopherJackson (26), Houston, Texas, USA Aug 15, 2009 Pours a brownish ruby color and not much head. Lots of floral notes. Slight hop flavor with sweet fruits like raisins. A little fizzy but in a good way. funkleshite (8), California, USA does not count Aug 13, 2009 Good things come to those who wait. Purchased from Trader Joe’s at least a year ago. Pours a dark brown with amber orange glow and thin white head. First sip is alcohol, berries, malt, and anise then fade to brown sugar and cinnamon bread and banana. I had no idea Chimay could be this good and complex. Definitely worth the wait. spkldhenlvr24 (446), Newburgh/Buffalo, New York, USA Aug 10, 2009 Smaller bottle. Pours a cloudy brown body with a fizzy medium light tan head. Fruity, malty aroma with some hop notes. Flavor of berries, malt and some nice sweet caramel. Alcohol was hidden very well. Thin finish. I have been waiting to try this beer for a long time and I suppose I was expectiong someting epic. Definately not a bad beer, and something I am going to try again. JanVittrup (138), København V, Denmark Aug 7, 2009 Unclear dark brown, tanned non-homogenous head, all sizes of bubbles. Settles rapidly.
Some alcohol in aroma, some yeast, little fruit. Sweeter on the tongue, some chocolate. Nice balance.
Little alcohol feel. dry.
Medium body, fizzy.
Probably good, but not really my style. Too sweet i guess, and i miss hop.
Purchased in SuperBrugsen. italarican (157), Astoria, New York, USA Aug 6, 2009 Pours a murky iced-tea brown with a quickly dissipating khaki head. Aroma of lemon, tea, clove, malt, floral hops, and yeast. Flavor is caramel, malt, currants and a touch of floral hops. A little too prickly for my taste. There is a lot going on here, but overall it’s well balanced.
