It's beautiful brown colour is awash with hues ranging from smoldering copper to deep ruby. It's balanced blend of generous fruity flavours and toffee pleases every palate. A succession of ripe fruits such as orange, peach and apricot is paired exquisitely with sweet malty flavours such as nougat and biscuit. Its refreshing minerality and smooth bitterness complete the palette of flavours. The delightful pairing of aromas and flavours lingers well into the aftertaste and leaves the mouth eagerly anticipating the next sip.
Chimay Red was brewed for the first time in 1862. It is the oldest of the Chimay trappist beers, hence its “Première” appellation in a 75cl bottle.
Chimay Red goes perfectly with every Chimay cheeses but particularly with the Grand Chimay.
