Chimay Trappist Ale

I used to know how to talk about wine - finish and mouth feel and legs and aromas - and am rather out of practice now. Even less do I know how to talk about beers. I would like to learn more, but haven't found anybody around here who seems to know enough to teach me. Or perhaps I am asking the wrong people.

Having said that ...

The first beer that I got on my new Pub Passport was the Chimay. I had had Chimay before, and enjoyed it. It has an interestingly bitter flavor, somewhat herbal. It's very light, and has a very short finish. I honestly don't know if I'd ever order it again, but I might.

On my usual scale, I think I'd give Chimay 30 bottles of ringboree. Certainly not one of my favorites, but, still, very pleasant. I'm glad I tried it.

The Pub, in Lexington, has a new deal. For $10, you get a passport which lists all 50+ of their beers. Each time you try one of them, you get a stamp in the passport. Fill up the passport, and you get $4 pints for life. Visit all of the seven Pub locations, and you get $3.50 pints for life, and a cool Pub jacket.

So, naturally, we had to get one. We're making fine progress towards our $4 pints.

No, you probably don't care what I drank last night, or what I thought about it. Or ... maybe you do.
