Chimay is an authentic Trappist beer brewed in a Trappist monastery, under the control and responsibility of the monastic community. Named Cinq Cents in 75 cl (25.4 fl.oz.) bottles, this beer with typical golden colour, slightly hazy appearance and fine head is especially characterised by an aroma which resulting from an expert combination of fresh hops and yeast. The beer's flavour, as sensed in the mouth, comes from the smell of hops: above all it is the fruity notes of muscat and raisins that give this beer a particularly attractive aroma. The aroma complements the touch of bitterness. There is no acidity, but an after-bitterness which melts in the mouth. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised.
