Chimay Première (Chimay Red)

Alcohol By Volume: 7.00%
Beer Style: Dubbel Ale
Availability: Year Round
Average of 8 ratings: 3.9 stars.
Description:
First sold in 75 cl (25.4 fl.oz.) bottles, it 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.

Nice off-white head, the carbonation causing the yeast to float around in the deep murky brown ale.
Aroma - 4.0
A light fruity with a tiny bit of floral smells come off of this beer.
Mouthfeel - 3.0
A light but carbonated feel in the mouth.
Taste - 3.0
A complicated almost bitter flavour at first, followed by light fruity notes
Overall - 3.5
A good beer to enjoy over a light tasting meal or during a spring or summer breeze when it's just right out.
