Chimay Triple / Blanche (White)

Hazy golden brown pour into thick foamy white head that slowly dissipates into sticky lacing that melts down the glass. Plenty of spicy bits floating in the glass. Aroma of citrusy hops and yeasty toasted bread. Initial flavor of citrusy fruit with a slighlty bitter hoppy finish.

On tap @ Deluxe. Pour was gold with a finger of collapsing white head. The aroma is that of wheat and orange peels. Taste is typical of a belgian tripel with a spicy/yeasty finish. Overall a nice beer, but not the best of Chimay.

NICE GOLDEN COLOR WITH A LOT OF CARBONATION. NICE SWEET SWEET SMELL WITH HINTS OF CITRUS. A SWEET BOUQUET OF FLAVOR, ONE OF THE WORLDS BEST AND OLDEST TRIPLES. A VERY SWEET TASTING BEER.

Location: 750 from Rodman’s, October ’08

Overall Impression: Nice, enjoyable tripel, not the absolute top of its style, but its a great style.

Bouteille de 330 ml. Nos yeux observent une bière de couleur ambrée fonçée ainsi qu’un col de mousse très imposant et durable qui cache complètement la bière du début jusqu’à la fin de la dégustation. Au nez on découvre des arômes de levure fruitée, de pain, de miel et de houblon floral. En bouche le corps est moyen-rond avec une effervescence moyenne. On goûte des saveurs tout en finesse de levure fruitée, de pain, de sucre, de fleurs avec en finale une amertume sèche.

Bottle. Cloudy orange colour. Fenolic, spicy, fruity and sweet but balanced by quite a bit of hops. Also some alcohol noticeble.

From the bottle. Hazy amber coulour. Aroma is very yeasty. Flavour is strong and alcoholic. This is a great tripple complex and deep.

Bottle from the LCBO. Hazy, dark golden brown pour. Smooth with a definitive trappist ale finish. I will buy this again.
