Ungstrup (14724), Frederiksberg, Denmark Sep 19, 2002 An orange beer with a beutiful head. It has the aroma of orange and fruit and the tastes of the same. It is very well balanced between the sweetness and the bitter lingering. A great beer that I enjoy on a regular basis. Papsoe (14613), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 12, 2005 Updated: Jan 8, 2006(Bottle 33 cl) Amber coloured, frothy head, lots of sediment. A dry, very dry almost medicinal or herbal beer, and as such an unusual trappist. Comes in the neighborhood of Orval but far from that beers complexity. A bit too bitter for my liking. 180893
(Bottle 75 cl) As "Chimay Cinq Cents". 6/3/6/3/12=12 140201 omhper (12147), Stockholm, Sweden Jan 25, 2002 Pale amber, hazy rich head. Banana aroma. Lively and complex. Very flavourful and fruity. Peppery. This is an old favourite I have not sampled for far too long. yespr (11613), Copenhagen O, Denmark Sep 16, 2007 33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a huge huge off-white creamy head. Lovely spiced yeasty and caramel malty aroma. Soft caramel flavoured with a small spice note breaking through in the beginning. Goes into a more yeast and spice dominated flavour. Ends slight bitter and spiced. This is by far my favourite chimay and one of the best belgians of all. fonefan (10868), VestJylland, Denmark Oct 19, 2006 Bottle. Amber with a thick white head. Rich dried fruit smell with a slight malt finish. Full fruit finish with a minty after finish. oh6gdx (8795), Vasa, Finland Mar 27, 2005 Updated: Dec 30, 2008Bottled. Hazy orange colour, huge foamy off-white head. Aroma is caramel, some wood, earth and mildly spicy. Flavour is yeast, hops, some wheat and also some alcohol. Alcohol isn’t burning bad though. MiP (8793), Sønderborg, Denmark Jun 25, 2005 Updated: Oct 20, 2009Bottle. Very fruity, slightly yeasty aroma. Golden colour, slightly hazy. Semi-stable, white head. Peppery flavour, slightly sweet with a good hoppiness, dry and grassy. The aftertaste does not seem as dry as other Chimays, but quite bitter. joergen (8429), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jan 12, 2006 Bottle.
