Chimay Doree Goud

It is not everyday you see a new Trappiste beer, but yet, this one is one of the most easydrinking Trappistes I've had the pleasure of tasting. Formerly, only for the monks and their guests, but now also the unGodly can have a sip. Weighing in at a moderate 4.8%.

Looks: Yellow, golden with a small head.

Aroma: Fresh! The label says only best before 2014, but I guess mine was pretty new anyway, hops and hay.

Taste: The taste is like a mix between wit and apa, a nice beer, and despite its low abv, it's a great Chimay beer.

All in all: A pleasant surprise, light, tasty, feels both classic and modern, maybe I should say timeless.  A very good beer for refreshments, sessions and mowing the lawn.
