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.

Pours dark tan, small head, earthen, limestone aroma, that comes of sharp. Slightly bitter, wooden, metallic, yeasty flavor. A bit rough on the finish.

Subtle. Faint sweet aroma. Clear copper-brown, wonderful but fleeting head. Banana esters, sweet spices (eg cloves), ripe stone fruit (apricot), apple pie. Yeasty, bread and toffee in the mouth. Slight alcohol warming in the finish. Exquisite if unchallenging. I want to drink a lot of these.

A good brew with some bitter apricot taste. Good appearance that pours well, and its a beer that even the girls will enjoy (which is good when you don’t want to waste the money on wine and a good Italian restaurant).

Very smooth taste, great taste overall. Head was about half finger high at pour, dissipated quickly. The color reminded me of a dark apple cider. I really enjoyed this beer

Dark amber pour with with a nice dirty white head. Clove and dark fruit aroma. The flavor is a jumble of sweet dark fruits and malt with a nice bitterness to it.

Beautiful hazy dark amber color with a nice lacing beige head. Moderated aroma of caramell, vanilla and some banana. The taste is less than i expected, but great and balanced. Smooth mouthfeel with a little dry at first, caramel, some toffee and roasted malt a little alcohol and a good, mild bitterness. Liqueric aftertaste.

11.2 ounce bottle in generic goblet. Amber/red with lasting ring head. Brown sugar cherry aroma with faint alcohol. Brown sugar caramel sweetness with mild raisin fruitiness and lingering sugary sweetness combined with very mild bitterness. Medium body and carbo. Not as interesting as I remember, but a very nice mellow flavor.
