    I was in a bar yesterday (drinking Brooklyn BCS on tap) and noticed that they had a tap for both Chimay White and Red. Chimay White is often seen on tap here. I had never seen the Red on tap before yesterday. The Chimay web site lists the White as being kegged but not the Red. I was given I sample of the Red it seemed lighter in both body and color and more carbonated than the bottled Red. Has anyone else seen this?

    No. I'm used to the bottles around here.

    I've never seen Red on tap, but I have seen older and newer Chimay tap handles for the white. You might have seen an older handle next to a newer handle. Some places that go through a lot of a given beer will have double lines to keep up with demand on busy nights.

    Was it Delerium Red?
