Chimay Première (Red)
Had a bottle at Blue Ribbon in Brooklyn Served in a Chimay Goblet this was a beautiful deep hue of red and when served was topped with a nice creamy head that stuck around for a while The smell was remarkable subtle yet very pleasant to say the least. Yeast, honey and sugary fruit scents are present on the nose, intermingled with the occasional spicy accent. Medium bodied to start and very active in the mouth this beer froths up then settles into a lighter bodied drink on the finish. Sweet with tastes of candied sugars, with spicey and slightly earthy notes. An absolute pleasure to drink all by it self... I actually wish I wasn't having this with a meal because I would have like to enjoy the varied nuances of it alone. Well sometime in the near future I'm sure I will
