3.7 Ganska svag i smaken för att vara en trappistöl, men god!

3.8 Vidange

4.2 Fruity, tangy, notes of coriander and spicy aromas

3.6 Tastes thing and tart, lemony, it’s good.

3.4 Bottle at Red River trailer park tasting. Deep golden pour with white foam lasting. Nice light pit fruit, coriander, orange zest, spicy aromas. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Nice herbal, coriander, fruity, sweet malt spicy yeast flavors—- easy finish ___ tasty Belgian

3.9 Opaque, cloudy, yellow/orange. Head was thick, dissipates. Big nose, fruity, tangy, yeasty. Yeasty, malty but some sharpness to taste. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Good mouthfeel, pillowy with plenty of body. Medium to lively carbonation. Errrm, tastes more than 4.8% so compliments for taste. Good fruity tangy a little heavy summer evening beer to drink slowly.

3.6 330 ml bottle. Pours amber with light head. Aromas of candied fruit, light ginger, and toasted malts. Flavors of lemons, ginger, pears, and sharp toasted malts, Lots of carbonation. Crisp and clean when cold. But more like a ginger beer.

3.1 Wheat malt aroma. Half-clear blond, small but long head. Light taste and body, medium to high carbonation.

3.4 Sampled at Max's Belgian Fest 2022, pours a clear gold with some thin, white head. Nose is sweet, candy, sugar, some melon and pineapple. Flavors follow. There is a nice grist/grain character that hits the tongue and helps with the body. Clean finish, mostly dry. Quality product.

3.6 Bottle. Golden hazy (stored sideways, oops). Lemony caramel nose, lots of soft-spiced yeast esters. Flavor is nice, smooth and rounded, raisins and kumquat peel. Just a bit thin for the potential complexity that's behind it.

3.7 Goudkleurig mistig bier met een witte schuimkraag die behoorlijk lang blijft staan. Geur is bloemig en kruidig. In de smaak komt de koriander behoorlijk (en voor mij onverwacht) door. Verder is de smaak vol wat leidt tot een prettig mondgevoel.

2.9 0,33 bottle. Szűretlen, érdekes, sötétebb szalma szín. Tetszetős fehér hab, közepesen apad. Cukros maláta illat, kis füves, gyantás komlóssággal, és rengeteg élesztővel. Illata nem túl intenzív, nem tűnik "bonyolult " sörnek. Savanykás, fehérboros korttyal nyit. Pezsgősen szénsavas, uralkodik a belga élesztő. Kicsit hordó íze van. Nekem túl szénsavas, túlságosan olyan, mint egy forrásban lévő must. Komlót alig érezni, inkább olyan állott sárgadinnyés fűszeres cucc. Mintha egy maláta alapú bor épp forrrásban lenne. Közepesen testes. Érdekesnek érdekes, kevés mazsolás íz is érződik. Nem hiszem, hogy kellene még egy üveg most.

4.2 Dit biertje heeft me verast fruitig fris

3.5 Birra dal colore oro carico, velata, con schiuma non molto persistente. Le note artiche sono principalmente fruttate ed agrumate. In bocca ha una buona frizzantezza, con sensazioni fruttate agrumate, una leggera astringenza. In secondo piano arrivano i sapori del malto e del luppolo. Birra beverina

4.1 I had this at Global Brew. Pours gold with a white head. Taste Belgian yeast, sweet, spice. I thought this was really good. I would definitely drink this again.

3.5 와인앤모어에서 단품으로 사니 5500원 정도 했는데, 이마트 트레이더스에가면 6병 묶음으로 24,000원에 판매하고 있으며 빛바랜 황금빛의 탁한 외관에 조밀하고 부드러운 헤드가 형성되어 한참 유지되는 편입니다. 향은 오렌지제스트와 고수의 향을 온전히 달달하게 느낄 수 있으며 맛은 몰트와 홉의 아로마는 옅은 편이고 뻔하게도 블랑이나 호가든처럼 부가물과 효모의 맛이 주가 되는데, 그 아래에서도 은근한 짠맛과 스파이시함으로 느껴지는 균형이 좋더라구요. 벨지안 에일이 취향이 아닐지언정 맛의 불균형으로 토를 달 수 없는 신성한 맛이랄까요. 괜히 수도원 맥주가 홀리워터가 아닙니다. 튀미한 외관에서 짐작할 수 있듯 설탕으로 알콜 도수를 채워 바디감 또한 상당히 가벼우며 마치 파도 포말을 입안으로 머금는듯 이질감없이 부드럽습니다. 정리해보면 시메이 골드는 트리펠이나 쿼드루펠처럼 자극적인 호피함이 아닌 드라이하면서도 효모에 기반한 풍미를 가진, 수도사들이 마셨던 부드러운 일상 맥주인 것. 오늘 트라피스트 맥주를 마시고 신성한 마음가짐으로 경건한 하루를 보내보자 케케 ♪

3.7 청량감과 풍미가 깊고 계속 유지가 됨

3.7 Easy drinking sweet . Hint of honey ? Bit light spice in there too. Not best head in Orval chalice .

3.6 Butelka. Zmętnione o złotym kolorze. Piana biała, średnia,opada powoli. Dominuje słód, lekkie zioła, oczywiste drożdże, słodkie morele i akcenty suszu owocowego, pieprzowe nuty na finiszu. Wysycenie średnie, słodycz umiarkowana.

2.9 Немного кисловатое

3.3 330 ml bottle. Poured hazy gold color with white head, Aroma: yeasty with light fruity notes and spicy notes. The taste is slightly spicy with fruity notes of yeast, whole wheat bread with a little ether and perfume with the presence of grassy hops and coriander.

3.9 Deze gouden Chimay is wat lichter met zijn 4,8%. Toch is dit een fijne, hoppige rakker die verrassend stevig smaakt ondanks zijn lichte percentage. Met vleugje citrus. Via Mitra online.

3.0 Donker goud bier met een mooie stevige witte schuimkraag. Het bier smaakt mooi granig en grassig met een lichte karamel smaak. Het bier is verder zoetig en licht kruidig. Mooi geheel.

3.4 Tight foamy white head stayed on a hazy dark gold body. Belgian yeast, stone fruit & confectionery aroma. Medium bodied, sharp & dry on the back. Yeast, citrus, chalky & spiced tastes with a bitter finish.

4.1 Très bon. Bue à estaminet avec papou et manou

1.8 Goût peu terrible personnellement, goût de savon.

3.5 Pale gold wine body has a hazy pale feeling. Because of the different dates, there are subtle differences between the two drinks and bubbles. But on the whole, it has a mild aroma of malt, grain, caramel and hops. Moderate bitterness and mild sweetness, but the bitterness is relatively long-lasting. When I drink it for the second time, I feel a little grainy, but the aroma is more intense, like the taste of banana, peach and even big bubble gum. It's medium gauge and medium distance, but it won't be drunk any more.

3.7 Bottled. A amber beer with a medium sized white head. Aroma is malty and grassy. Taste is malty, some light spiceness. Biscuit and toast. Citrus. Average carbonation

3.7 33cl bottle at home from online store and last Chimay i tried, after the usual Red Blue and White labels. Drinking it pretty cold, on 12/04/2021 BB 05/2022. Pours a nice hazy darker / orangy gold with a nice big white head, not too much lacing. Aroma of malt, sweet spices, floral belgian yeast, orange peel. Taste is sweet and a bit sourish with a nice dose of carbonation, with hints of malt, yeast, spices and lots of fruits, i'm feeling a lot of apricots with also some citrus orange and banana. Very low bitterness and sweet, satisfying taste. Medium body and smooth drinking, only 4.8% abv and not feeling it much but the taste more than makes up for it. Flavourful. May not be the best Chimay but wasn't disappointed at all, i'm really enjoying this one quality belgian for sure.

3.4 330ml bottle. Hazy gold, big white frothy head, lots of visible carbonation, minimal retention. Light fresh aroma of cereal, banana, light spice. Taste is like the aroma, quite cereal like in taste, semi-sweet, fruity banana, nice smooth body and carbonation. Not much in the finish, it doesn't deviate from mid-palate. This is my third Chimay beer and although I find them decent I don't feel they stand out amongst other Belgium beers I've tried.
