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

330ml botle. Pours cloudy amber with a thin, fizzy white head that settles nicely and hangs out for a bit, some lace. Smells very bready with some yeast and just a hint of clove spice. Tastes nice and sweet bready yeasty, like cinnamon bread with just a touch of spice. Sweet overall with a hint of alcohol. Better than I remember, nice. Medium body, good carbonation.

This is a very good beer. Pours a nice dark yellow, and tastes as good as its aroma suggests. This one is actually worth drinking from the recommended glass, because it will bring out all the flavor and appearance. Try it.

33 cl bottle, thanks ekstedt. Hazy dark amber with a fully lasting, creamy white head leaving excellent lacing. Moderately malty and yeasty, light on the hops. Bread, flowers, meat, broth, honey and alcohol. Lightly acidic and bitter with a short finish. Medium bodied, creamy with fizzy carbonation. Quite alcoholic.
