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 amber with nearly no head. tasts of light malt that fades to fruit. Hops are very faint.

Bottle, 75 cl. Decent nose, with copious servings of yeast and hops. Very pleasant on the mouth, and if you’re someone who prefers the darker ale, then this is a treat. Great beer, great taste.

Found this at Sunnys restaurant Bangalore. Served in the Chimay glass. Nice head and odours of raisins. Mildly sweet and has this dry finish that I love. Excellent beer.

Great beer, excellent flavor, aroma, appearance, and very pleasing to my palate! You can find this great beer in the Belgium beer section at Bev Mo. This is a must try, don’t let the price put you off it is well worth the $.

Initial smell was apple, but easily could be apricot as advertised. Nice thick foamy head, but dissipates quickly. Dark brown color, I suppose reddish in direct sunlight. Thick, hazy in appearance. Flavor is sweet, lightly malted, with a dry bitter finish. Palate is strong and fizzy. I love dubbel’s but I’m not a connoisseur so I think it is a great beer! Very different than the gold, still haven’t tried the blue.

Pours a murky orange/brown with a lovely creamy off-white fluff on top. Sweet doughy malt aroma, yeasty, some apples and pears. First taste is very light, some bitterness, very light nuttiness, dry.... really quite uninteresting. Vacant mouthful... a bit watery. I fail to believe this tasted like this 4 or 5 years ago...
