16463.8/5.03.8/5.07%96 Trappist glass P  Stats

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.

First taste 5/21/07. Pours translucent and cloudy dark copper with a large head that quickly recedes and some lacing. Aroma is not very strong. Taste is somewhat metallic and sharp at first, but softens considerably as the beer warms. Sweet yeast and malt are offset nicely by a decent amount of bitterness. Not as impressive as the Bleue or the Blanche, but a fairly solid offering nonetheless.

Bottle from Plano Beverage in Plano, TX. Pours a hazy red with beige head, good retention. Has nice floral, malty, earthy aroma. Flavor has some citris with nice malt character, balanced bitter. Mouth feel seems like a belgium, soft and chaimpaign llike. Over all a very tasty brew....

range brown color with quite thick and smooth off-white-beige head. Pleasant sugary aroma is fruity, yeasty and some kind of spicy. A bit sweet Flavor is fruity and yeasty with some spicyness. Palate is full-bodied, foamy and quite much carbonated.

Bottle. Reddish brown much like the label with a nice white head. Aroma of ripened dark fruit, molasses, caramel malt, and belgian yeast. Flavor is mostly sweet with just the slightest touch of tanginess. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with over average carbonation and finishes very well. Great beer and very much enjoyed.
