16223.8/5.03.8/5.07%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.

Pours deep nut brown with a quickly settling head. Aroma is quite yeasty, with citrus and almonds. The flavour is of yeast and slightly fruity malts and almonds - the malts somehow seem to mesh into one slightly off flavour. Not very impressive. Wasn’t a huge fan of their white either.

bottle from monooly outlet, oslo. Pours hazy brown with creamy tan head. Weizen-like aromas with yellow fruits. Kinda dry, but still fruity. Some sweetness in the end.

Not bad at all. Actually, I thought it was similar to Chimay Blue. Where I live, this is a very common beer, so I know bars where I can get it regularly.

Bottle, 75 cl. Decent nose, with copious servings of yeast and hops. Very pleasant on the mouth, and if you’re someone who prefers the darker ale, then this is a treat. Great beer, great taste.
