Commercial Description:
Chimay Blanche (White), with its typical golden colour, its slightly hazy appearance and its fine head is especially characterised by its aroma which results from an agreeable combination of fresh hops and yeast. The beer's flavour, as sensed in the mouth, comes from the smell of hops: above all it is the fruity notes of muscat and raisins that give this beer a particularly attractive aroma. The aroma complements the touch of bitterness. There is no acidity, but an after-bitterness which melts in the mouth. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised.
Ingredients: Water, malted barley, wheat starch, sugar, hop extract and yeast. See Protz and John White

Amazingly, I haven’t rated any of the offerings from Chimay... Bottled; pours a cloudy golden color with a small white head. Well hopped aroma, fresh baked bread, ground coriander, and sweet honey. Well carbonated body reveals a nutty, yeasty brew. Roasted biscuit malts give way to a bitter, hoppy finish. I have avoided this beer over the past 10 years, as it was my least favorite beer from Chimay. Times and tastes have changed; this is a world class beer. Still not a fan of the kegged version, however.

Darker than other tripels. Strong aroma, with more hops than usual. Tastes strong, with alcohol and esters and hops. Bitter. I used to like it more, and I think its too agressive comparing to other tripels.

Served chilled. Pours cloudy golden with large white head. Taste is spicy with notes of fruit and hop. Alcohol taste is present but not overpowering. Hop taste in the finish. This is very well balanced. A delightful experience to be savored.

Draught at Q-Brick in Osaka. Very good hops, for both aroma and bitterness. Big, long bitter finish. Yeasty, fruity nose, with biscuity malt. Smooth, full, and mellow flavor with a touch of creaminess. Lovely, with better hops than the bottled version.

Bottle. Very nice and fruity with a nice light copper body and a decent sized head, really nice and smooth to drink.

I had this on tap as part of a "Belgian Flight" at Ashleys in Ann Arbor, MI with my friend BeerBaron617. It was a nice golden color with virtually no head. As a result of the wrong glassware (small 6 oz. glasses) I think the aroma was a bit null... However taste was all there. It was a bit musty with a lot of banana flavor. It had a lot of carbonation and a light fruity taste. I will definitely check this out again.
