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.

The color turned me off. A murky brown pour that looked like blended muddy water. Aroma and taste are ok though. Heavy with a sweet malt on both nose and mouth.

Pours a murky dark brown, with a large foamy head. Aroma is very malty as is the taste. I also get a caramel aroma. Not bad but just not for me.

Pours nice deep brown, good creamy head. Taste is malty, fruity and has a viscous mouthfeel, very little hint of alcohol. Nice beer.

Dark reddish brown, big and foamy beige head. Peppery yeasty nose, slight syrupy fruits and cheese. Flavor is dried fruits, malts and yeast. Spicy, well hopped and peppery finish, little earth also. Medium bodied, smooth but hollow palate. It’s got that basic Chimay pepperiness.

A very smooth tasting beer. the colour is bright red and very wonderful aroma. Rich, creamy and somewhat malty, has a prevalent yeasty and bread like taste. A full mouthfeel all the way through. A lot of lively fruit that continue to burst in your mouth all the way through the beer. Always an old reliable. :)

[330ml bottle from Tesco’s, Reading] My first Trappist beer so I was quite excited! Smell and initial taste very malty. Smooth and dangerously drinkable for such a strong beer. Mellows into a deep fruity aftertaste with almost no bitterness. Not bad, but not quite as outstanding as I’d been led to believe a Trappist beer could be - I’ve certainly had British beers I prefer. Will definitely try more of the style though.

Reddish amber coloured beer with off-white head. Herby butterish aroma. Sweet creamy palate. Ending is herby and bit fruity.
