Style and Colour: Belgian Blond Trappist (Tripel)
Taste: It has a mainly dry character, enhanced by fruitiness that brings to mind memories of a fine dry white wine, with touches of citrus and floral herbs.
Alcohol: 8 % ABV
Drinking Temperature: 6 - 8° C
Fermentation: High fermentation beer that re-ferments in the bottle.
The Brewery: The brewing of beer for the monks’ own use commenced in 1862 in Abbay Scourmont in Chimay. In 1933 the ‘Trappistenbier’ name was trademarked. Only beers made by monks in an Abbaye can take the name "Trappist".
Origin: The Chimay Triple, is the brewery’s most recent creation, in 1966. The 500th anniversary of the town of Chimay – celebrated in 1986 – provided the start of the Tripel in a 75cl format,
labelled “Cinq Cents”.
Food: It pairs wonderfully with cod, mussels, skate or 'coquilles St Jacques', accompanied by a sauce containing shrimps or capers.
