Chimay

Look: Pours a hazy golden straw color with a beautiful, billowing, satin white head of foam that laces the glass exquisitely.

Smell: Yeasty. I'm getting bananas, white pepper, bubblegum, rosemary, clove, and notions of lemon rind and orange.

Taste: Follows the nose. Floral upfront with notes of corriander. Very clean and crisp. Mildly bitter. Lots of banana, lemon, clove, white pepper and bubblegum. Notes of sweet bread and honey. Dry on the finish.

Feel: Mid-Heavy body, somewhat creamy. Highly carbonated.
