Chimay 150 - Golden Ale

To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Belgian Chimay Trappist Brewery, this wonderful Belgian Strong Golden Ale was brewed. Originally brewed as a limited edition for the occasion in 2012, Chimay 150 2021 is now celebrating its comeback in the brewery's regular range.

The world-famous Trappist beer from Belgium has been produced by the monks of the Notre Dame de Scourmont monastery in the municipality of Chimay since 1862. The monks' traditional brewing process within the monastery and the second fermentation in the bottle characterize the Trappist beer. Due to this special production process, only eleven breweries worldwide (as of January 2021) are now allowed to count themselves as Trappist breweries. By adding a small amount of candy sugar, the Belgian Strong Golden Ale undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, creating the special taste of Chimay 150.

Chimay 150 flows pleasantly into the glass with a clear golden color and impresses with its stable white head. The tantalizing aroma of fine dried fruit wafts through the foam, as does a slightly floral note. The Chimay 150 impresses with its balanced taste and many fine aromas, ranging from fruity to spicy notes. A subtle hop bitterness accompanies sweet dried fruit and fine herbs. The interplay of fruity sweetness and the peppery spiciness of the spices used make Chimay 150 a very special treat. The combination of the two hop varieties Saar and Hallertau Mittelfrueh round off the taste perfectly. The slightly bitter, spicy finish perfectly complements the sweetness of the fruit. Coriander and cardamom also complement the spicy taste.

Chimay 150 is the result of the brewing experience of several generations of brewers who have been following this brewing tradition at Scourmont Abbey for over 150 years. This care makes it a wonderfully authentic Belgian Strong Ale.
