COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle Conditioned - 75 cl, and 33 cl bottles.
Ingredients: Pilsner malt (French barley from Champagne); wheat starch or flour (10% - 15%); dextrose (5%); malt extract (0.1%); hop extract from German Hallertaur (aroma) & American Galena (bittering) hops. Yeast & liquid invert sugar added to the bottled beer.
Chimay 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.

lukin (224) - Ontario, CANADA - DEC 27, 2010
750ml bottle poured into a goblet. Red/brown and cloudy with small disappearing head. Aroma is raisins, spice, plum, citrus, malt. Very lively and complex taste, and sweetness and bitterness is beautifully balanced. A delightful beer, and available easily here in Ontario. Now if only some of the other trappist offerings were this easy to get!

jgauquie (26) - Poughkeepsie, New York, USA - DEC 18, 2010
Excellent brew! This is a choice that has converted many commercial domestic beer drinkers! It’s one of the tastes that micro brews yearn for! Smooth, warm and filling. Subtly sweet and swallows mellow with no sting to slow you down! Fresh baked bread and the noted apricot pleasantly greet you! Relatively inexpensive considering it’s origin. Available everywhere! Great selection!

psilosophy (259) - vitry en artois, FRANCE - DEC 17, 2010
Bouteille de 33cl. Une brune avec une mousse agréble mais pas très abondante. Pour sûr, c’est une bonne bière mais je trouve qu’elle manque un peu de corps et je l’ai trouvé un chouilla acide. Elle s’affirme en se réchauffant. Trouvée au célier des arcades - Arras

One inch, off white head. Dark copper in appearance. Unique aroma of flowery spice. Smooth, with a slight hoppy aftertaste. Moderate amount of carbonation. Overall, a very unique beer.
