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

Bottle Pours a cloudy amber with a big creamy white head. Awesome aromas of spicy carmel and lightly fruity hops. Medium body and a great mouthfeel. My mouth never wanted this beer to end. Great flavors and vey smooth. This is a great beer.

Corked 750ml bottle into Trappist glass. A hazy orange ale with an ample dense off white head. Generous aromas of spicy hops and roasted nutty caramel malts with a hint of oranges. Medium-full mouthfeel with tastes of honey malts, citrus and nutmeg at first but finishes with a resinous dry bitterness that lingers. Very well integrated flavours and dangerously seductive given the ABV. Top class.

Bottle. Amber colour with a huge creamy off-white head. Sweet, malty and spicy aroma. The flavour is sweet, malty, spicy and yeasty with bitter finish. Medium-bodied, creamy mouthfeel and well-balanced. Very tasty brew.

I liked the red and blue but this to me just tasted like any other normal belgian. Not necessarily a triple or double just average.

Bottle. A deep copper colour with a small head. A spicy aroma. Taste is floral with plenty of spice and citrus fruit with hints of honey. Not overly sweet. A very enjoyable brew, fairly typical for a tripel.

Bottled. Cloudy amber color, with a very nice and persistent white head. Aroma is amazing, fruity, flora, sweety, notes of honey, burned sugar. Flavor is balanced Citrus, spice and sweet. Mouthfeel is spicy and dry that take a long time to leave the palate.

Drank and sank from a Chimay goblet: The respected White Chimay . Ive had cooler triples but itsa beer worthy of street cred. A hoppy belgian ale thats character is allowed to be itself.Earthy and floral .Musty dank old skool dry shit in the finish. Textured -if subdued.
