Chimay Rouge (Red)

Bottle Pours out a nice mahogany topped with a sand head. Aroma of yeast fruit and malt. Tast sweetness of fruit. A nice spice on it along with plenty of malt. Man all 3 of the easy to get Chimay are pretty solid.

Big offwhite head does not last. Deep dark red body with floaties. Deep dusty fruity wild berry aroma with bready cinnamon notes and traces of pepper. Sweet fruity cinnamon taste with yoghurty bready notes and wild berries. Mid- to thin-bodied. Slightly watery. Some astringency. Lots of carbonation in the mouth. Dry, long aftertaste of same. Very nice. (0.33l bottle, Systembolaget, Göteborg.)

Reddish brown with a quickly dissipating thin off-white head. Aroma of fruits, grains, nuts, Belgian yeast, sugar and toasted malt. Taste of fruit, sugar, sweet malts and banana with a semi dry finish. Decent Dubbel.

Although typically the least expensive of the red, white and blue Chimays, this is my favourite, perhaps since it was the first one I tried and the one I have the most experience with. Sweet, spicy, fruity and woody scent. The colour is my favourite type among beers - a very cloudy copper with a nice fluffy off-white head that settles to a nice thin layer with some lacing, but not that much. Taste is malty, a bit spicey-fruity with a bit of a bitter edge, but no noticeable alcohol. Ends with a bit of a long, but smooth bitterness. Manages to come off as light but not watery. Extremely drinkable.

Poured a nice golden color with a white head. Aroma is of nice candy sugar, spices, and some perfume. Flavor was much the same, sweet spiced and a bit sour.

Lives up to it’s colored name with a copperish hue. Softer in flavor than the Bleue it has no less complexity.

750ml. Pours a deep brown with reddish hue with a medium size beige head. Fruity aroma. Taste is very well balanced with caramel and yeast and malts. Very drinkable and pleasant. Never dissapoints.
