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.

This beer has a much more malty aroma then taste. It has a dark amber appearance. Very nice yellowish dead. A nice crisp citric flavor. A really nice beer

Bottle. Poured an amber color with a three finger white head. Aroma of malt, caramel and fruit. Flavor was sweet malt and a bitterness at the end. Good beer.

Poured a amber color with a thick white head. The aroma is dark fruits, caramel, and malts. The taste was almost the same is the blue, just a little watered down in comparison. I enjoyed it.

Drank with friends who had never tried this variety. They really appreciate its dark fruit, spice and malt flavor, commenting on how many different tastes were in one bottle. There of course are many beers quite a bit more complex and I will enjoy sharing these with them as well.

Bottle from Plano Beverage in Plano, TX. Pours a hazy red with beige head, good retention. Has nice floral, malty, earthy aroma. Flavor has some citris with nice malt character, balanced bitter. Mouth feel seems like a belgium, soft and chaimpaign llike. Over all a very tasty brew....
