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

A nice beer. Pours with little head. It has an intense bitter start which fades to a slightly sweeter finish. Almost sparkly with carbination.

This beer has a light golden apperance with a fiarly light fruity aroma. When poured a large head builds up and clings to the glass on the way down. The initial taste is quite mild but the aftertaste leaves you with an orangey dryness. You can definately tell from the taste that this is a beer with a reasonable alchol content.

Pours a very light golden blond. Hazy golden orange in the glass. Thick, white head. Very fruity aroma....raisins and white grapes with a subtle hint of plums. Flavor is very similar...with a hint of hops and yeast. Overall a very drinkable tripel.

Pours light yellow amber with off white head and good lacing The aroma is light on malt, with notes of caramel and hay. I notice some light flowery hoppiness, yeast smells of dough, barnyard, and cheese. Notes of bubblegum, clove, pear, wine, coriander, vinegar, and Tripel phenols come through. The flavor is classic Tripel, but is a bit harsher in its phenols than some others. Overall, a good Tripel, but it’s a bit more phenolic than I prefer.

From tap. My first trappist beer and I really liked it. Really strong but still smooth.

I have greatly underestimated this line of beers. This is a full bodied, chewy malt, spicey, citrusy, delicious drink. Pours a dark orange, a little murky, with some big white foam for a head. Aroma is pungent spice of clove and pepper. Flavor dominated by the malt body, chewy grain, and bread. Finish is a bit funky, musty, and earthy. There is some citrus up front that fades into the bread, spice, and funk that is the main character of the beer. Tasty and complex.
