Chimay Triple / Blanche (White)

Bottle, I am fond of all the Trappist beers so it it not hard to give a good rating. A well rounded balanced beer .

Bottle 0.33 l (bb 2010). Hazy beige yellow with bigger particles falling to bottom of glass. Nose is a bit clayish, grassy, sharp and yeasty. Flavor is bitter, spicy and a bit weizenlike. Mostly just stingy bitter. Strangely unattractive and sparkly. Supposed to be served cold, but turned out to be much more pleasant after warming a bit. Sour, sparkly and bitter, can’t say I enjoyed enormously.

A bit hazy golden colored beer, with a nice white foamed head. The aroma isn’t very strong, a bit spicey, some fruits and hoppy. The taste is mild, notes from malt, hop and fruits. A good triple, but not my favorite.

Pours a cloudy, deep orange color with large head. Smells yeast and sweet. Nice floral, peppery taste. Amazing mouthfeel, as I didn’t know a beer could feel as soft in the mouth. Finish is a little bitter with an unoffensive alcoholic bite.

Draught @ Duvel Cafe, Stockholm 080425. Typical Cimay aromas of roses, coriander, marzipan and some yeastiness. Flavor and palate is very surprising. I never thought a beer could taste like fresh shellfish. Gravelly, salt, citrus and dill. The finish is slightly sour and bitter. But what happened with the flavor?

This hazy orange beer has a large fluffy head and is quite fizzy (slightly more than I’d like, in fact.) It has a spicy and bread-like aroma. The flavour is very nicely balanced between sweet, banana-like malt and bitterness from the hops with some alcohol on the finish. I found it very pleasant indeed.

bottle. large off-white cramy/rocky head (almost completely lastlng) with great lacing into light brown body with dediments aflowin’. aromas of candied sugar, lemongrass, and yeast. flavor is sweet throughout with a touch of bitter at beginning. great hop/yeast/malt balance. great mouthfeel (very soft). short to moderate finish duration. above average carbonation. Excellent.

High carbonation. Orange to amber in color with a big foamy head. Yeasty, spicy, and sweet in the smell. Much of the same from the smell is in the taste. Pretty good.
