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.

Dark brown pour with small quickly diminishing tan head. Light carbonation. Slightly syrupy texture. Caramel, and demerera lead to dates and a butterscotch finish. Slightly thin bodied. Go for Chimay Blue or Rochefort 8.

Bottle.33cl. Pours a vary dark amber brown Colour with yeast in the glass. Nice big head which kinda lingers. Highly carbonated and yeasty which greatly contributes to the overall enjoyment of the beverage.

Damn Good. Third beer I tried at Beerfest in Orlando yesterday. Chimay makes world class beers. When I found the Chimay booth, I thought I was at the Unibroue booth and was asking for the Trois Pistoles, woops already crazy without any beer in me yet.

Bottle pours hazy amber/brown with thin white head. Aroma is dark fruits and alcohol. First taste is sweet but it is very well balanced. Finish is clean. Carbonation is perfect. Just as good as the grand reserve.

Bouteille de 750 ml. Arômes de levure belge et de fruits mûrs. Robe rouge bourgogne, plusieurs particules en suspension. Belle mousse, mais qui disparaît rapidement. Très veloutée en bouche, la levure accompagne une touche de caramel et de chocolat. Puis les fruits mûrs mènent à une finale légèrement amère où pointe également l’alcool.

Moderate malty and heavy yeastly aroma leaves no doubt of the belgian abbey product.Very nice creamy, light brown head. Cloudy look with some large particles. Maybe it should be tapped mor slowly? Brown colour. Moderate sweet lasting taste. Yeast is very present, so if you don’t like that - live Chimay for the rest us ;-)
