mkel07 (494), Brisbane, Australia Aug 29, 2009 330ml bottle. Light copper in colour with a pillowy and creamy foam head. Well carbonated and looks robust. Aromas of spiced fruit, cinnamon and citrus and a strong flavour tht hits all parts of the mouth. JanEric (167), Meppel, Netherlands Aug 29, 2009 Gold coloured, pours out with a big white head, thick, remains for a long period in the glass. Aromas of ornage peels, hops and freshness. Is tastes a bit bitter, not unpleasant,with hints of orange and slightly acidic. It’s not sweet despite the added sugar. It’s a nice tripel with a full taste, and a pleasantly bitter long finish. monkeychugg55 (213), Joliet, Illinois, USA Aug 25, 2009 Pours a nice hazy orange color with a medium to small white head that is tightly knit and kinda frothy. The aroma is a mix of floral hops, warm yeast, and light clove. The flavor is soft, mellow, and complex. Sweet at first, quickly fading into a spiced mix of what seems like white grapes and a light Belgian wit. It then fades to a soft bitterness that seems to come out of nowhere, accompanied by the faintest hint of alcohol warming. Mouthfeel goes from light and sweet to thick and soft, then slightly bitter and leaves a little sugar on the teeth. A lot of depth to this one, an awesome sipper. NJJereme (261), Saint Petersburg, Florida, USA Aug 25, 2009 Bottle. Pours a cloudy brown color with a decent off white head. Aromas and flavors of clove and banana. A fair bitter edge to it. Medium bodied. Not bad. Sonicdescent (374), Donora, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 23, 2009 An excellent beer, I slightly plain in appearance. Taste is a high point, I only slightly prefer the grand reserve. Drinkability is deceptively high for the alcohol content. Chimay is really one of
The few brews that you can never go wrong with. Would order again. Craybees (17), New York, USA Aug 23, 2009 Definitely my favourite example of the style to date. Terribly smooth with just the right tiny bit of hop bite in it. beernovice39 (240), South Carolina, USA Aug 23, 2009 Think I prefer blue to this one. The wife loves these and likes the blue more as well. Yet to try red. jsh12bama (335), Alabama, USA Aug 21, 2009 Pours hazy golden/orange with thin white head. Aroma of bananas and yeast. Taste is fairly spicy with yeast and a slight hop bite. Highly carbonated. Decent.
