Chimay Bleue (Blue)

Brewed by Chimay
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Baileux, Belgium

Dark brown, tan, frothy head. Fruity aroma, slight alcohol taste. A bit nutty (perhaps almonds and hazelnut), and fruity. Very mellow and easy to drink. One of my favorite stand by beers

Poured from a bottle 22oz. into a Chimay wide rimmed glass. The color is a cloudy brownish/orange with a nice foamy white head. The smell is of baked bread, and some really nice floralflavours. The taste is a bit spicey, a mix of hops, floral and citrus. A hint of black pepper and rain flavor are evident at times. This beer is the stuff of legends. I have heard many this about Belgian beers and this comes through much better than expected. It is clear that this beer copied and cloned but never surpassed.

Chimay Bleue is kind of awesome. Aroma is great, brown body, white-brown head. Just awesome. Try it !

I popped a bottle of this just for the hell of it. it was dark brown-red with a fluffy, billowy head. It smells like dark fruits and yeasty. Good yeasty fruity flavor reminiscent of the Chimay red. This was good but not my favorite belgian, I prefer tripels. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 11-26-2007 04:01:11

Pours a brownish ruby color and not much head. Lots of floral notes. Slight hop flavor with sweet fruits like raisins. A little fizzy but in a good way.

Good things come to those who wait. Purchased from Trader Joe’s at least a year ago. Pours a dark brown with amber orange glow and thin white head. First sip is alcohol, berries, malt, and anise then fade to brown sugar and cinnamon bread and banana. I had no idea Chimay could be this good and complex. Definitely worth the wait.

Smaller bottle. Pours a cloudy brown body with a fizzy medium light tan head. Fruity, malty aroma with some hop notes. Flavor of berries, malt and some nice sweet caramel. Alcohol was hidden very well. Thin finish. I have been waiting to try this beer for a long time and I suppose I was expectiong someting epic. Definately not a bad beer, and something I am going to try again.

Unclear dark brown, tanned non-homogenous head, all sizes of bubbles. Settles rapidly. Some alcohol in aroma, some yeast, little fruit. Sweeter on the tongue, some chocolate. Nice balance. Little alcohol feel. dry. Medium body, fizzy. Probably good, but not really my style. Too sweet i guess, and i miss hop. Purchased in SuperBrugsen.
