    Excellent review. I like the white, love the red, and am completely obsessed with the blue. I will occasionally find myself daydreaming about it, if I'm out of stock (it's very hard to pick up in the UK). The trick with that is to never, ever run out of stock ;-)

    try serving the beer in a wet glass, it preserves the carbonation a bit better (with dry and/or dirty glass you can see the little bubbles attached to the inner side) cool video as always!

    Great video. The new Chimay verte (Green Chimay) and Chimay dorée (Golden Chimay - in fact the beer that monks usually drink) are missing. Maybe a new video for them. But the new Chimay verte (Green Chimay) is very strong, don't drink 2 bottles of them if you have to drive 😂 The blue Chimay is the one we prefer in Belgium.

    Just found your channel! Superb research and thanks for uploading- looking at the other vids on the list, I know I’m going to learn loads. I live in Kent, home of East Kent Goldings and Belgium is only across the channel so no excuse for me not to visit soon!

    New to the channel and enjoying it. If you would make a video on geuze beer (from pajottenland) try to include food pairing. Those beers are difficult and underrated due to their acidity levels, but paired well, are mindblowing. Try goat cheese and sour bread with them, or in fact any dish with high acidity. You’ll enjoy

      Get off your high horse. Any tulip shaped glass is just fine if you don't have the original glassware.

      Never mind the glasses. If you haven’t got the “right” one, a wine glass will do just fine. Try the tulip style

      The dude is from the US, give him a break, he may not have used the exact right glass, but he did get a "mini duvel" one, as long as it is Chalice shaped, for trapist beers, its a pass for me.
      Besides his review was absolutely on point, missing a few but still, very solid review.
