Chimay Première (Red)
Highs: Balanced taste Lows: Value Pours a dark tea color with a one-finger dark tan head that fades to heavy lace that lingers. Nose is of bitter hops and a tea-like aroma. Taste is again bitter and hopsy, with a hint of alcohol. No tea here, however odd. Mouthfeel is wet and bubbly; not bad. Finish is light bitter, not much on it. Drinkability is pretty goodits a mellow, unassuming ale. However, the premium price will probably keep you from drinking more than one. Overall: I like this ale, its well balanced and lacks the metallic notes Ive seen in many others. Given its price, however, Id keep looking. Worth a try.
