Haslinger (640), Syracuse, New York, USA Feb 8, 2008 very very heady, I didn’t have the correct glass to pour it into and it was foaming all over the place. Definitely foams more than the the Chimay Blue. Very good taste, has a decent spice taste but much less than the Chimay Blue. The alcohol content is not as prevalent as the Blue. Would buy again. illidurit (851), Santa Cruz, California, USA Feb 6, 2008 Poured as usual into the ol’ Chimay goblet. Golden in color, with a thin white head that leaves lots of lacing.
Smell is a bit underwhelming, with spices and mustiness.
Taste is medicinal with lots of spices and yeast. There’s also a bright estery fruitiness. Some booziness is apparent here.
Carbonation is a bit high. Lightness in body contributes to the booziness taking over the palate with too much warmth. MaliMisho (208), East Meadow, New York, USA Feb 6, 2008 It had a cloudy yellow body, slighty fruity, and slightly hoppy. Needless to say, it was very well balanced. redgold07 (308), Irving, Texas, USA Feb 6, 2008 Pours a hazy brown-gold color with a substantial white, fluffy head. Aroma is of fruit and yeast. Flavors include some spices, yeast, alcohol, citrus, hops, and it is a little bitter. Quite good though.
11.2 oz. bottle. daniellerose7 (119), new york, New York, USA Feb 4, 2008 Mmm! Chimay-may! This beer is pretty good, but for only 8% I thought that the alcohol taste was too prevalent. I think I prefer the other Chimay beers to this one. BEERGUY007 (206), Scotia, New York, USA Feb 2, 2008 Nice beer. bottle from Glenville beverage. Served 50 degrees in a tulip glass. Pours a dark, cloudy yellow. Huge, thick white head. Nice Brussels lacing. Smells of hops and yeast. Taste is definetly hoppy and a little yeast, maybe a little raisin. Nice beer. Ill get it again. Guinness4Duff (507), Tallahassee (and Poconos, PA), Florida, USA Feb 2, 2008 Ive had many a Chimay (and love them) before, but I just picked up a 3 pack to rate today, so i’ll start with the first. Pours a cloudy peach color with a creamy white head. Aroma is a bit faint, but I smell a little spice and bananas. Flavor is the same, good overall. blutt59 (2042), Dallas, Texas, USA Jan 31, 2008 33 cl bottle, hazy golden pour with large head that quickly dissipates to a fine ring, hopyy upfront with good fruity flavor, finish tailed off a little too much and became more bitter than I would like.
