Chimay Rouge (Red)

33cl stubby bottle, at least a year old. Pours a hazy amber with a large light foam off-white head that settles to a thin covering. Aroma is candied and ripe dark fruits, yeast, and some light caramel. Flavor is lighter than expected, with more ripe and candied fruits, yeast and light caramel. A milder and accessible entry level belgian beer, but nothing too special or complex.

Dry fruity overrated brew that goes to shit if there is some age on it and tastes like cardboard. The palate is good though and this is still very drinkable if reasonably fresh.

Bottle, like in the name ’red’ colour, small head, mild sweet, yeasty, balanced caramel taste, too strong copper taste - like you smell on a 1 eurocentcoin. The Chimay red is in my opinion the best chimay!

Bottle, 33 cl. Smells a bit like metal... But taste is very nice, a bit sweet and very sparkling. Colour is wonderful. Undoubtedly the best of the Chimay’s existing.

The best chimay makes, flavor is better than the blue , in my opinion. Seven percent abv is unnoticeable. This beer goes with any dinner or by itself is a great beer.

Pours a cloudy, deep shade of red with a thin white head. Sweet aroma with hints of yeast. Very smooth and not too carbonated. Tastes of sweet fruits, caramel, yeast, malts, with some hops. Well-balanced and complex in its flavor.

750 pours a cloudy brown with a slight white head, lots of lacing. Aroma of caramel, sugar, yeast, spice. Taste is similar with plenty of yeast, malt, and caramel. Very enjoyable. Mouth is smooth and nicely carbonated. Great balance. Overall, a very enjoyable trappist ale. Lots of complexity.

Aroma of sour apples and sugary fruit. Yeasty sediment makes for a translucent pour, head went away quickly. Flavor had some caramel character along with ripe fruit. Palate was mildly lively. Decent, but I expect more from a Trappist beer.
