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

Nicely spicy aroma and a very interesting mouthfeel, reminds a bit of orval despite not being as good. The foamy head looks gorgeous. This is not one of my favorites but still a very interesting beer with the yeast and hops bringing a lot of originality to this brew.

Delivers a hazy golden orange body with a brilliant three fingers of foam that is extremely compact (very meringue-like) Nose is dominated by orange and spice with some white muscat notes also prevailing. Palate is medium bodied but seems quite full, almost creamy. Banana and orange fruit notes are dominant with substantial spice, namely anise. There is also a hint of white pepper present that compliments the spice in adding to a slightly dry, earthy finish.

Small bottle. Pours a hazy orange-yellow with a sizable white head. Aroma was filled with lemon, wheat, and sour notes. Palate features nice sharp carbonation and a medium body. Flavor is an combination of wheat, spice, hops, and citrus. Flavor also features more of that classic Belgian “banana” flavor. Overall, this is a better balanced and interesting brew than Chimay’s Red bottle Belgian. Enjoyable.

0.33 L bottle from Bottlescrew Bills, Calgary. A briht reddish gold colour with heaps of foamy head. Aroma of spicy hops and grass. Taste is hoppy and slightly bitter. Very good beer and i was impressed as this was my first tripel.

330ml Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a 2 finger creamy white head. Nose is yeast, spice and hops. Taste is Belgian yeast and spices and a bitter hop finish. Medium mouth feel. Part of a 3 bottle vertical I did. This was first, and came in last. Still good however.

Very nice tripel, and widely avialable. Hazy amber color, smells of fruit, bananas, and other citrus. Very good combination of hops, spices, and yeast. Nice, fairly bitter finish.
