Trappist Beer Focus

Chimay - Scourmount Abbey

Of the six Trappist beers Chimay is the most famous and perhaps the best. There are three distinct styles of Trappistenbier, of which the Chimay Red, White and Blue (as in the colour of the Chimay bottle cap) are world classics. The Red is the in the 'double' style, 7% in strength and deep copper red in colour. All Trappist beers are bittersweet, with the Red being the sweetest of the Chimay brews. Next is the White. Know officially as Chimay Triple, it is golden in colour and sharper in taste than the Red, partly due to an extra amount of hops.
