Chimay Triple

Chimay Triple, with its typical golden colour, its slightly hazy appearance and its fine head is especially characterised by its aroma which results from an agreeable combination of fresh hops and yeast. The beer’s flavour, as sensed in the mouth, comes from the smell of hops: above all it is the fruity notes of muscat and raisins that give this beer a particularly attractive aroma. The aroma complements the touch of bitterness. There is no acidity, but an after-bitterness which melts in the mouth. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised.

Gouyasse Blonde

6% Belgian Ale, usually available at The Blackfriars Tavern in Great Yarmouth, FB: BlackfriarsTavern

Gouyasse was the first beer brewed from the Brasserie des Geants (August 2000) and it took several months to develop.

The wish of Master Brewer Pierre Delcoigne was to produce a beer rich in flavours but fairly light in alcohol, working only with the four raw materials (malt, hops, water and yeast), without adding any additives.

Pouring the first three quarters of the bottle the beer is a beautiful light yellow. When the final quarter is poured it becomes cloudy from the sediment.A perfect balance of a dry beer but not overpowering bitterness and a maltiness which softens the hoppiness.
