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.

33cl bottle. Pours an average, frothy, off-white head. Has a muddy, burnt red body with generous yeast particulate. Heavy malt aroma of caramel, plum, cherry and some grape. Fairly abundant yeast phenol presence - nice spiciness. A little fruitiness from the esters. Medium body balanced by lively carbonation and a light hop bitterness. Candi sugar dry finish keeps the caramel malts in check. Pleasant, warming alcohol lingers. Surprisingly easy drinking and tasty, though not quite as interesting as I had hoped.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy dark copper with a medium off-white head. Sweet aromas of caramel and fruit. A light taste made up of sugar, nuts, and light fruit. Just a hint of alcohol. Rich, smooth texture.
