Chimay Description

First sold in 75 cl (25.4 fl.oz.) bottles, it is noted for its copper color and as the first beer brewed by the monks of Chimay in 1862.

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 flavor qualities of this beer very harmoniously.

This top-fermented Trappist beer, re fermented in the bottle, is not pasteurized. 

Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points

Chimay Premiere, also known as Chimay Red, is the oldest product in the Trappist brewery s lineup. It s a clear-brown color, with solid lacing that lingers with each sip. There s a medicinal seam that weaves throughout the core of caramel malt, red plum, cherry and brown sugar. Those core characteristics carry though to the palate, where medium carbonation lifts the sip, lending refreshment through the dry, spicy finish. Manneken--Brussel Imports.
