Chimay "red cap"   (7% alc. vol.) known as "Première" in 75 cl (1 pt. 9.4 fl. oz.) bottles, has a distinctive copper-brown colour, making it particularly attractive. Topped by a creamy head, it has a slightly fruity apricot-like scent which comes from the fermentation. The aroma perceived in the mouth is a balance that underlines the fruity nuances of its "nose". Its taste, which has a silky sensation on the tongue, is made refreshing by a hint of bitterness. On the palate, the taster perceives a pleasant sharpness which discerningly completes the taste qualities of this beer.

Chimay "triple" (white cap)   (8% alc. vol.) known as "Cinq Cents" in 75 cl (1 pt. 9.4 fl. oz.) bottles, is typified by its golden colour, its often cloudy appearance and its excellent head. It is particularly characterised by its scent, which comes from a pleasant combination of fresh hops and yeast. The aroma of the beer, perceived in the mouth, comes from the perfumes of the hops: these are mainly the hints of the "muscat" and "dry grapes" which give this beer its particularly attractive characteristic aroma. This aroma exploits the hint of bitterness. There is no actual harshness, but a great aftertaste of bitterness which remains in the mouth.

Chimay "blue cap"   (9% alc. vol.) known as "Grande Réserve" in 75 cl (1 pt. 9.4 fl. oz.) bottles, is above all distinguished by its very character of a strong beer. This is a beer whose scent of fresh yeast, combined with a slightly rosaceous flowery touch, is particularly pleasing. Its aroma, perceived on tasting, only serves to heighten the pleasant sensations in the scent, while revealing a light but enjoyable touch of caramel.
