Bières de Chimay

Belgian Blonde Ale·Belgium·6.5% ABV·One of 102 Belgian Blonde Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Chimay Yellow's spicy and fruity character. Unveiled in June 2025 as Chimay 175, a limited edition for 175 years of Scourmont Abbey and initially offered in 20-litre casks, it now belongs to the range as Yellow. Citrus opens the nose, sharpened by cardamom and coriander, with a touch of red apple and shades of aniseed and vanilla. On the palate spiciness and citrus stay in balance, and the finish is refined and fades into a gentle spicy note.
