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.

UPDATED: DEC 24, 2010 Bottle. Wonderful hoppy characterisitics. Fruity and spicy nose. Wonderful creamy texture, lightly sweet with fruity and spicy flavors, with dry and bitter finish. Long on the tongue. Nice complexity. Rich color and a great pour in the glass.

Great beer. To get the full experience let it warm up a bit. After pulling it from the refrigerator I let it sit for a 15 minutes and it really adds to the flavor. The color is a dark, almost burnt orange. There is not much aroma, but the taste is floral and smooth.

Really sharp and utterly dry Trappist. Not very much to my liking. Foamed a lot from the bottle, very dark color but taste is not for me. Gladly, the aftertaste is gone like a gust of wind. Not my favorite.

750mL bottle. Pours a clear reddish brown with a thick and reasonably persistent head. Aromas of yeast and malt. Mild fruity flavour, strong malt, medium sweetness, slight sourness. Medium bodied, lively carbonation, smooth with a slight bitter finish.

In bottle; pours a red/brown cloudly color. Aroma was not great, might of been the glass it was poured into. taste was good, almost too mild in body though. Very smooth and very easy drinking. I good beer, but I prefer the Blue

dEnk (1592) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - JAN 31, 2010
UPDATED: JUN 12, 2010 Cloudy brown pour, medium soapy-creamyish head, slightly tanned. Aroma of old beer, fruits, caramel, oak. Dare I say somewhat thin flavour and mouthfeel, some spices. Ok beer, but I’m not a fan.

tabernae (115) - Latina, ITALY - JAN 26, 2010
Questa birra, di colore rosso ambrato e dalla schiuma compatta di media persistenza, all’olfatto sprigiona piacevoli e astringenti sentori di frutti di bosco. Buono il corpo, ha un gusto dolce, elegante nel suo complesso. il finale č bilanciato con note luppolate.
