Chimay Triple / Blanche (White)

Brewed by Chimay
Style: Abbey Tripel
Baileux, Belgium

Presentation: It was poured from a stubby brown 11.2oz bottle into a signature Chimay chalice that came with the gift set. Appearance: It has a slightly hazy, peachy golden colored body with a thick, heavenly, white and foamy head. It is supported by an active carbonation and it very slowly recedes to a much thinner creamy layer of foam that leaves behind sticky white lacing. Smell: The aroma has delicate fruity character with dry yeast notes and a just a hint of medicinal phenols and hops in the distance. Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor has mellow fruity notes of Muscat, golden raison and apple mixing with pale malted grain and dry earthy yeast. Hop flavor is mild but adds a mild slash of herbal spice and mellow bitterness. Its 8%abv is well hidden but adds to the overall complexity and smooth rounded mouth feel. It finishes with some light phenol flavors and mild spicy hops fading off the tongue. Its texture has perfect carbonation and a nice rounded feel with a medium body that is very drinkable and sophisticated. Notes: I love Trappist beers and this is an absolute joy to drink. Monks Rock!!!

I tasted this beer before I got my account with ratebeer, so I can’t really remember all the flavors.

Bottle pours hazy copper with thin white head. Nice carbonation and aroma is bread and malt. First taste is sweet but very well balanced with a carbonation burn.

330 ml bottle - thanks to matt7215 for the trade; pours hazy, burnt orange; frothy white head lingers; floral aromas of spice, colander; raw and sharp; light and bitter; a little fizzy with sharp carbonation; texture leaves something to be desired; pretty nice overall

Getting notebook online. Bottle. Pours golden. A good amount of hop flavors with some fruitiness of muscat grapes. Yeast flavors as well.

pours a cloudy gold colour with a frothy white head. Aroma is of citrus, vanilla and bready yeast. Flavor jumps up and kicks you in the teeth on first sip. Flavor is very similar to the nose with citrus, a touch of vanilla, yeast and a pleasant bitterness that lingers pleasantly.

Shared a couple bottles with oldrtybastrd. This is a good beer that pours a amber color with a nice white head that holds on. The spice flavor is not overwhelming as the fruit taste and finally a bit of bitterness round out the beer. A must try for anyone!

Bottle pours hazy orange with a nice tall white head. Aroma is of fruit and sour spice. Flavor is nice. A thin malt backround and tons of good hop bitterness that mellow out and fade off slowly. The mouth is crisp and compliments the bitterness. Good stuff.
