Lightly floral and herbal flavors, with a moderate warm mouthfeel, and intense hoppy bitter taste that lingers the mouth.

Chimay Blue is principally distinguished by its character of a strong dark beer. This is a beer whose fragrance of fresh yeast with a light, flowery rosy touch is especially pleasant. Its flavour, noticed when tasting it, only accentuates the pleasant sensations perceived in the aroma , while revealing a light but pleasant touch of roasted malt. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised.

Initial mouthfeel is quite creamy, more so than I expected, and then those tiny bubbles hit the tongue with a gentle bite fit for cutting through rich, fatty foods. The malt character is light (likely Pilsner and Munich malt), but sets a fantastic foundation for the wonderful citrus and floral notes of the Citra to sing. And this mixes so nicely with the spicy character from the Saaz and Styrian Golding hops as well as with the Belgian sweetness and yeast character. It finishes dry on the palate and preps the tongue for the next greedy swig.

Brooklyn Lager unites flavors of toffee, toast, and caramel with a dry-hopped aroma full of grapefruit, flowers, and pine. Whether it’s in your favorite pint glass, a trusty bottle, or versatile can, Brooklyn Lager is the beer for the job. If you’re looking for the dry-hopped amber lager that changed the world, look no further.
