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

33cl bottle, pours a hazy golden with a sizable white head, moderate lacing. Aroma is candied fruits, yeast, some citrus hops and spice. Flavor is more candied fruits sweetness, with some spice and a light citrus. Not bad, and a notch better than the Westmalle Tripel, but realizing this style isn’t doing much for me.

Pours cloudy blonde colour with a huge white head. Lots of carbonation, semi-tart flavor, and light fruit. mouthfeel is very creamy and bubbly. Aromas of fresh hops, grapefruit and lemon. Taste is slightly bitter, but still very smooth.

The head is huge and it has a copper colour, the head doesn’t last long though. The aroma is hoppy and it has a bit of spicies and yeast. Flavor is full of yeast with a bitter touch.

Sour lambic aroma. White head with golden honey colors. Dryish flavor with a sweetish balance, malt, hay, cookie, dried fruits and slightly bitter finish. Rich and even palate with strong carbonation. Quite good.

75cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark golden/orangish/honey color with a thick frothy white head that slowly settles to about one finger. Good head retention. Aroma is ripe fruit, apple, spice, yeast, bread and complex aged cheese. Flavor is yeasty and fruity with notes of bread, honey, and hops. Light to medium body with a slightly bitter finish.

Pours golden with plenty of foam. Aroma of fruit and a little alcohol. Tastes of banana, apple, pear. Little burn of alcohol. Got what I expected but little more. I might try it again, but I’d rather stick to the blue.

Orange with big, foamy off-white head / Light, fragrant nose of banana, yeast, and spice / Medium body, crisp and lively, but with good malts underneath and excellent, bitter finish / Flavors of banana, orange, apple, clove, and coriander / Pretty much a textbook tripel.
