Chimay 150 is a refreshing beer, strong but refined, with a balanced flavor and floral scent, accompanied by aromas of dried fruits and spices. It has an ABV of 10%. Saaz and Hallertau Mittelfrüh, two hops known for their superior quality and finesse, are blended and a secret spice is added to produce this unique taste.

Chimay 150 is the result of the experience of generations of brewers who have succeeded one another for 150 years in Chimay's brewery. A limited edition (150,000 bottles) of Chimay 150 was brewed for the very first time for the brewery's 150th anniversary in 2021.

Due to the strong demand of the privileged few who had the opportunity to taste it, Chimay decided to add this exceptional

Also known as "Spéciale Cent Cinquante" and "Chimay - Green"

The best Chimay I have had so far. Although, it has a 10% Abv it goes down smooth.

Best chimay i have tried i think. It was a bottle pour. Rivals my prference for blue but definitely has a certain spiced edge that the other offerings dont have. Kinda expensive. Get some!

750 bottle of Chimay Cent Cinquante. Golden with some chill haze dense white head and lace. Booze spice herbal vanilla honey apricot aroma. Medium sweet (less than expected, which is great) honey ceral vanilla with boozy spicy herbal finisf and fine lively carbo in full body blends it together perfectly. EXCELLENT.

Chimay calls this a "Blond" on the Label, but it is very much a Tripel.A really good one at that.

Ooh this is a big hitter. Balling with murky gold haze, bitter hops and a capped with a foamy massive head this one is not meek at heart. There's spice, there's florals, there is buubly effervescence, it hits big on nose and mouth and the ABV is well masked. Oof.

Yields a glowing golden color with a huge, stable white head.

The aromas on this inherit wet grass, raisins and toffee with a touch of earth to it. It‘s also developing a herbal sage note among plum and sea buckthorn.

Has a light and well balanced body with a noteable effervescence in the finish, creating a complex, yet refreshing beer.

Tastes of spruce, caramel, sweet, slightly rustic toffee and whipped cream, creating a gentle smoothness. Has a rock sugar defined middle part with lighter sage notes and dried grass, together with a pleasant leaf dryness. Finishes with hay, honey and spicy garden leaves, ending with a long lasting, flowery and dry aftertaste.

Very well rounded, complex and smooth, this is really convincing.

On tap at The Brass Tap, Cedar Falls, IA; served in a snifter. Hazy, light golden color, with a white head and a little streaky lacing. Fruity, floral, and funky, with an herbal and spicy note. Very drinkable for a big beer, with the alcohol unmistakable but not too obtrusive. Medium-bodied, well balanced, with a dry and bitter finish. An outstanding Belgian beer.

Jeezus, well now I wasn't prepared for this one. First sip, easily amongst the most unique beers I've ever had in my 45 years of drinking. Peppery and strong, alcohol comes up in front. But second and third sips, I'm getting spearmint. Yes, spearmint! Maybe that's the 'secret' spice they add, even though mint ain't no spice. This beer is extraordinary. 10% ABV, a thousand percent enjoyment.
