Chimay Yellow is a refreshing beer that immediately offers rich aromas, with elegantly harmonious spicy and fruity notes. On the nose, it boasts the freshness of citrus fruits, enhanced by a distinct zest of cardamom and coriander. A touch of red apple provides a gentle, fruity touch, while subtle nuances of aniseed and vanilla further enhance its aromatic complexity. This opulence is prolonged on the palate. The spiciness strikes a perfect balance with the liveliness of the citrus fruits. The dry and refined finish fades gently to an elegant spicy note.

Bottle pours cloudy gold with strong carbonation and a moderate white head that lingers. Dense, creamy mouthfeel yields gentle bursts of spice revealing bread yeast flavors. Well balanced dry finish. Excellent!

Bottle @ Herøya. Unclear pale golden body under a huge, foamy white head. Nice and refreshing aroma of pale malt, generic fruitiness, spicy belgium yeast and a floral touch. Taste is light and refreshing as well, still pretty tasty. Pale malt, a frosty touch, spices, belgium yeast and flowers. A very nice and tasty take on the style. To be repeated.

0.33l bottle many thanks to Lore. Hazy golden body with a lasting white head. Fruity aroma with notes of orange zest, pears and apples with some spices that you'd expect from the Belgian yeast (pepper and coriander mostly). Taste is pretty much the same only that it has a bit of doughy yeast and some floral hops to it too. The finish is in fact quite bitter and spicy. Very nice blond.

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines. Hazed yellow gold. Beautiful swede is dense lasting glossy white. Nose has yeasty bready malt. Floral and fruity along the lines of ripe dessert pear. Taste has some sweetness with an estery bitterness. Very easy drinking with foamy rolling carbonation. Fruity estery lightly bitter finish. Great stuff assisted by the fact it looks tremendous.
