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.

Deep dark, ruby red (almost brown?) pour with a sustaining off white head. Light aroma of yeast and perhaps banana - well, now after I read the description - of course it’s apricot. Full mouth feel with a long finish. Creamy, malty, a hint salty and bitter. Very good, consistent flavor.

Bottle, 75 cl. Decent nose, with copious servings of yeast and hops. Very pleasant on the mouth, and if you’re someone who prefers the darker ale, then this is a treat. Great beer, great taste.

Found this at Sunnys restaurant Bangalore. Served in the Chimay glass. Nice head and odours of raisins. Mildly sweet and has this dry finish that I love. Excellent beer.

Initial smell was apple, but easily could be apricot as advertised. Nice thick foamy head, but dissipates quickly. Dark brown color, I suppose reddish in direct sunlight. Thick, hazy in appearance. Flavor is sweet, lightly malted, with a dry bitter finish. Palate is strong and fizzy. I love dubbel’s but I’m not a connoisseur so I think it is a great beer! Very different than the gold, still haven’t tried the blue.
