Chimay Rouge (Red)

750ml. bottle from Trinity Liquors in Spring Hill, FL. Aroma of light floral notes, citrus, alcohol...not a very strong aroma. Pours cloudy cream soda color with a thin white head. Flavor is light malt, citrus, flowers, yeast...Nice mouthfeel...Its pretty good...not nearly as good as the Chimay Blue or White.

Cloudy copper body with an off-white head, a bit fruity on the nose. Slight bitterness provides the balance to the sweetness and fizz. A fine dubbel.

Small Bottle: Pours cloudy amber with a reddish hue. Has a thin to medium tan head with little to no lacing. Smells of caramel and hops. Tastes of bread, caramel and sweet malts. Leaves the palate with an exotic fruit & malt blend.

Ultimately disappointing. On the nose some sweet malt but also a nasty whiff of alcohol. There is some fruit & malt & sweetness on the rounded palate but then the flavours disappear into a chalky dryness leaving you feeling the whole thing is a little thin & unbalanced. The final flavour is a fairly pleasant spiced fruit but by then it’s too late.

Poured reddish coppery color with small head. Aroma is sweet and alsovery yeasty. Flavor is malty and sweet. I know this beer is rated high but this really is more like wine. Palate - syrupy mouthfeel with below average carbonation. Overall - a good beer if this is the beer you prefer.

12 oz bottle conditioned bottle. Pours a dark amber with a cream/off white head that sticks around. Aroma is a yeasty sweetness, a touch of malt and spice. Flavor is a little bit of spice, with a bit of malt character, then a slight hop finish. An almost vanilla-toffee flavor before a slight alcohol feel as well.

[50cl bottle.] Cloudy reddish brown with a loose white head; sweet yeasty aroma; rich malty flavour with lots of caramel and hints of vanilla and biscuit; creamy finish. Really good.
