zappafan99 (181), Rock Hill, South Carolina, USA May 5, 2008 Cloudy and murky with bits of goodness floating around.thin to no head after initial pour. Fruit taste turns to malt then hops. Raisin or dates. I like all the Chimay offerings.
esjaygee (599), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA Jul 5, 2008 Reddish brown with a quickly dissipating thin off-white head. Aroma of fruits, grains, nuts, Belgian yeast, sugar and toasted malt. Taste of fruit, sugar, sweet malts and banana with a semi dry finish. Decent Dubbel. rcasta (210), El Salvador Jul 5, 2008 Ole ole ole ole espaNa espaNa

BodyLightLight to mediumMediumMedium to fullFullTexture BeerEssential (72), Massachusetts, USA Jul 4, 2008 Although typically the least expensive of the red, white and blue Chimays, this is my favourite, perhaps since it was the first one I tried and the one I have the most experience with. Sweet, spicy, fruity and woody scent. The colour is my favourite type among beers - a very cloudy copper with a nice fluffy off-white head that settles to a nice thin layer with some lacing, but not that much. Taste is malty, a bit spicey-fruity with a bit of a bitter edge, but no noticeable alcohol. Ends with a bit of a long, but smooth bitterness. Manages to come off as light but not watery. Extremely drinkable. Beerman6686 (504), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 2, 2008 Poured a nice golden color with a white head. Aroma is of nice candy sugar, spices, and some perfume. Flavor was much the same, sweet spiced and a bit sour. carruthm (204), USA Jul 2, 2008 Lives up to it’s colored name with a copperish hue. Softer in flavor than the Bleue it has no less complexity.
