2005 Chimay Gift Pack
The other night I went to my favorite liquor store to pick up some microbrew beer, and discovered this Chimay gift pack. It contains a bottle of Chimay Trippel, Chimay "Red", and Chimay "Blue".
Belgian Trappist monks make beer to support their abbeys and their support programs.
Chimay "Blue" is a strong beer with an odor of fresh yeast coupled with a slight flowery touch. It is about 9% alcohol by volume. The beer improves with age and the year it was brewed is always on the label.
Chimay "Red" has a silky feeling with a slight bitter taste. It is about 7% alcohol by volume.
Chimay "Triple" has a golden color. It balances the flavor of the hops with fruity flavors. It is about 8% alcohol by volume.
The only way to enjoy properly enjoy a Belgian ale is to serve it in a goblet. Fortunately, this gift pack comes with one. It should be served around 44°.
If you find this gift pack, make sure you buy it! This is fine beer!

Hi there!
A couple of weeks ago there was an Omegang tasting at the local distributor (Pennsylvania thing ;-) and they had the same thing! My buddy picked one up.
If my wife picked one of these up for me I would drop over dead from surprise! Ahhh...I can only dream.
