Chimay Rouge, Bleue and Dorée: the entire Trappist range on Maltese

Born in 1862 at the Notre-Dame de Scourmont abbey — Chimay Rouge (“Première”) is the most accessible and balanced Trappist beer in the range: slightly fruity, with a mild sweetness and a clean finish. Alongside it, Chimay Bleue (fuller-bodied, spicy and alcoholic) and Chimay Dorée (hard to classify in a defined style, unique in its kind). All available online on Maltese with shipping throughout Italy.
