Chimay is born from monks. It's still brewed at the abbey and then bottled world wide. Given they've been doing this for over 150 years, I expect a top notch ale.
It pours with a large but brittle head. The color is a cloudy golden touching on amber. It has a bready aroma with a touch of citrus.
There is a strong upfront flavor. I don't detect any malt sweetness. It's really that bitter yet oh so good hops up front, in the middle, and at the end. It's not overpowering. There is more bread and yeast. It also has a touch of coriander. In the finish is a hit of alcohol. Overall it is very crisp and refreshing. The finish is clean leaving a bit of hops and spice on the tongue.
A very good and drinkable brew.
