Chimay Rouge (Red)

Poured from a big bottle. Sort of fizzy head and that faded quickly. The flavor is in the fig and prune genre, but not that great. Interesting to try but doubtful I would buy it again.

tasted along side the blue and white. this was the weakest of the three but a strong showing nonetheless

It poured a nice, big bubbly head that ultimately disappeared, and it was a nice golden amber. It smelled wonderful with raisins, malts, and a nice hops coming through. It just tasted overwhelmingly flat though. It starts with very fruity malts and finishes with alcohol and hops. On the palate, it was merely thin.

Poured a deep copper color. Aroma is malt and nuts. Flavor is slightly fruity and sweet, but the finish turns more towards bitter. A good solid beer, but Chimay Blue is better.

Clear brown body topped off with a small tan head. There is a very apply aroma mixed with malt. The flavor is a nice balanced malt flavor with floral notes and a bit of citrus and sweetness.

Poured a light brown color. Sweet with only a touch of bitterness. Full flavored with a mildly dry finish. All in all a really good beer.

330ml bottle. Pours a clear copper brown color with excellent carbonation and a good brownish head. Aroma is earthy and sweet, with a crisp hoppy scent of grapefruit and apricot along with a yeasty earthiness. Taste is creamy and medium-bodied with a crisp fruity opening giving way to a tart hoppy finish. Not quite in the same class as the other Chimays, but still a well done beer.

Deep brown and coffee-like, this Chimay doesn’t have, at least in my opinion, the range or the depth of the other Chimay beers. Its flavor tends more towards sweet and watery with a nutty, almost bitter finish. While certainly not a bad beer, just not what I’ve become accustomed to from the Chimay line.
