Chimay Quadrilogy 33cl Gift Pack

Four 330ml bottles of Chimay's core beers presented with the Chimay glass. The perfect gift for any Belgian beer lover Chimay Dorée – 4.8% ABV Dorée (Gold) has been brewed inside the abbey walls since 1862, it is the Bier de Ménage or “household beer” and was only available for the private consumption of the monks until 2013. Named “Dorée” for its delicate golden color, this refreshingly crisp ale brings a delicious balance of citrus and spice. A fluffy white head releases the aromas of summer fruits followed by sparkling mouthfeel which ends with a hint of bitterness. Chimay Première – 7.0% ABV Chimay Première was the first ale to be sold by the Trappist monks in 1862. It became famous for its dark copper colour and rich creamy foam. The beer gives forth distinct apricot aromas and has a pleasantly light and silky mouthfeel which finishes with a touch of bitterness. At 7% alcohol the more subtle esters of Chimay’s yeast strain emerge nicely which gives the perception of a variety of fruits. This yeast strain was isolated by reverend Father Theodore following his studies at brewing school in Leuven after WWII. Chimay Cinq Cents – 8.0% ABV First brewed in 1966 by reverend Father Theodore and it was his final contribution to the Chimay line of beers. Cinq Cents has a typical golden color, a slightly hazy appearance topped with a fine foam which releases a bouquet of fruity esters and floral-hop aromas. Mellow flavors of muscat, golden raisins and fresh bread are perfectly balanced by the distinct hoppy bitterness. Grande Réserve – 9.0% ABV First launched in 1948 as a Christmas ale under the name “Blue Cap.” The beer is remarkably dry for the style and the hint of sweetness is derived purely from the highest quality of malts. Flavors of dates, fig and pear are complimented by aromas of dark bread, with a touch of rose. As the beer ages it maintains its elegance while taking on flavors or sherry and tobacco.
