The Chimay Gold, which is brewed in the heart of Scourmont Abbey, was for long reserved for the monastic community and its guests and staff. Its refreshing aromas of hops and spice are now yours to try.
Originally this was the refectory beer drunk by the monks and as such it was a water-diluted version of the Red Chimay, but it was given its own recipe in 2006. Initially it was only available in the abbey itself but since 2013 it is generally available. At the nearby Auberge de Poteaupré, it is tapped from the barrel as Chimay Spéciale Poteaupré.

Finally got my hands on one of these. 33cl bottle in Cafe Botteltje, Ostend on 22nd October 2024. Mini haze in the golden body, snow white head that didn't stay very long. Belgian yeasty aroma and taste with orchard fruits in the background.

Aus der Flasche (bbe ) im Sommer 2023 getrunken. Diese leicht trübe, goldene Ale kommt mit leichte Citrus-, Hefe- und etwas Hopfenaroma daher. Der Körper ist recht leicht und somit ein schönes Ale für den Sommer.
