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.

Jamen det er kreds når man får en Chimay, og denne er da også helt og aldeles drikkelig.

Dark rich brown beer with a touch of ruby and an off white head. Stunning sweet yeasty nose with complex fruit qualities. The flavour is full, doughy and perfectly balanced between sweet and bitter and the dry peppery finish is just lovely. A great dubbel.

Just a great Belgian. Brown pour with an off-white head. Beautiful notes of dried fruit and sweet malt. The same flavors dance across your palate. A solid beer and a great starter for those that are ready to rise to the occasion and start drinking some more flavorful and refined beers.

Bottle. Pours rich Mahogany with white head that slowly disperses. Malt aroma with fruit over tones. Nice spicy flavor with medium body.

Not as good as the Blue, but really wonderful. All Chimays are great beers. Malty, dried fruits and spice. Cheers!

~Pours a dark redish cider coulour with medium sized fluffy head. ~Scent of malts and fruit apricot and plums. A little spice. ~ Spicy, fruity flavor. Some corriander maybe. ~ Feels tingly and sharp. A bit chewy. ~ Eh, this beer is ok. It’s a little too fruity and carbonated. Upsets my stomache a bit. Chimay Bleu is definetly superior.

Pours a dark coppery color with a thin off white head. Aroma is mainly of yeast with some dark fruit. The beer is actually relatively sweet with some sweet malt and fruit. Light carbonation feel. Decent beer, but I don’t like it as much as others I feel.

Bottle into my Chimay chalice. Nice thick foamy head is quickly dissipating. Notice the caramel brown color is lighter than many dubbels. Rusty rain, cane sugar, and caramel apple in the nose with hints of light fruits. Medium body with perfect amount of carbonation. Taste is similar to nose. A classic dubbel.
