About the beer

Chimay Jaune is the latest Trappist beer from Scourmont Abbey, released in 2024 to celebrate 175 years of brewing history. Produced by Trappist monks within the walls of the Belgian abbey, this 6.5% ABV Belgian Blonde represents the authenticity and rigor that define beers with the Authentic Trappist Product seal.

In the glass, it appears golden and clear, with a fine, creamy head.

The aroma is immediately captivating: fresh citrus notes dominate, accompanied by cardamom and coriander which provide spicy complexity. Red apple adds fruity sweetness, while anise and vanilla bring aromatic depth.

On the palate, Chimay Jaune reveals exemplary balance. The spices harmonize with the citrus vivacity, creating a refreshing and sophisticated profile. The body is medium-light, with lively carbonation that accentuates the sensation of freshness.

The finish is dry and refined, with a spicy touch that lingers elegantly. Chimay Jaune joins the abbey's prestigious range of Trappist beers, alongside the Rouge, Bleue, Dorée, Triple, and Grande Réserve. Available in 33 cl bottles and keg, this commemorative edition reaffirms Chimay's commitment to tradition, quality, and innovation within the bounds of Trappist authenticity.

Pairing: Chimay Jaune pairs by complement with grilled fish seasoned with aromatic herbs, where the beer's citrus notes reinforce the freshness of the lemon and parsley. By affinity, it pairs perfectly with fresh goat cheeses, sharing the same delicate acidity and subtle milky notes. The contrast is revealed in dishes of roast chicken with spices—the citrus freshness balances the intensity of the spices and cuts through the fat of the crispy skin. The lively carbonation acts as a palate cleanser for lemon and basil risotto, refreshing the palate between each creamy bite. For dessert, try it with lemon meringue pie: the citrus acidity creates a perfect sensory bridge, while the beer's dry finish balances the sweetness of the meringue.
