Chimay Red

The last, but not the least of the Chimay's: the Red. This is a very nice Abbey Dubbel with a strong, fruity, barley smell. It pours nicely and visually resembles iced tea. It has a larger head than the other two Chimay's, but fades faster into a nice off-white ring of foam. The aroma from this beer is one of barley and fruit. It has a fascinating, smooth, dry taste. As it hits the mouth it starts off being very carbonated, but quickly fades into a dry, fruity, caramel-ish taste. The aftertaste is amazing and leaves the hit of barley and apricot behind. Overall it is my favorite of the three Chimay's.

Appearance - 3.8
Smell - 4.1
Taste - 4.2
Texture - 4.5
Overall - 4.15/5
