A Refreshing Ale with Hints of Spice and Orange

Chimay Dorée (Gold) is a light, refreshingly crisp ale that brings a harmonious balance of citrus and spice. It pours a cloudy yellow ochre, crowned with a white, fluffy head that highlights its artisanal quality. Initially reserved for the monastic community at Scourmont Abbey, this Belgian Pale Ale, also known as a Patersbier, is now celebrated for its delicate golden color and vibrant flavors. It features refreshing aromas of hops and spice, making it an exceptional choice for those seeking a premium, lower-alcohol content beer​​​​​​​.

Key ingredients include water, malted barley, sugar, hops, spices, and yeast, with sugar playing a crucial role in creating carbon dioxide during the second fermentation. This meticulous process results in a beer fermented in the bottle, containing yeast, which adds to its complexity and depth​.

The Scourmont Abbey is located in the picturesque region of Hainaut, Belgium. Founded in 1862, the abbey has a long-standing tradition of brewing, with the monks overseeing the production to ensure the highest quality.

Given its spice-infused and citrusy profile, Chimay Dorée (Gold) pairs wonderfully with light snacks and desserts. Its refreshing quality and lower alcohol content make it a versatile companion to a wide range of dishes, enhancing the dining experience with its nuanced flavors​
