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

Bomber bottle, poured a cloudy amber/orange color with a nice thick creamy head. There was a clean hoppy citrus fruit aroma. There was a creamy texture to the beer and a crisp smooth taste. Everything about this beer was mild and subtle. Nothing was overpowering, but there was a lot of different scents and flavors well blended. There was a light hoppiness and citrus flavor. The finish again was a mild bitterness with a subtle sweetness underneath. I split this bottle over dinner of grilled scallops & asparagus and this beer paired really well with the scallops mild sweet flavor. Excellent mild, clean, complex beer.

bottle shared with me by The Captain. thanks Mark. pours a hazy golden color with a large white head composed of very fine bubbles. smells very fruity with notes of pear, apple, and grapes. flavor is very yeasty with the aforementioned fruit notes also present. light spice is present and bit of hop bitterness ties it all together nicely. a lovely beer but possibly my least favorite from Chimay.

Smaller bottle. Pours a hazy orange gold color with a smaller but lasting white head. The aroma is hoppy, yeast, and some fruit. The flavor is fruity, slightly spicy, yeast, sweet honey malts, with a slightly surprising bitterness. The alcohol is a bit warming. Decent, but not my favorite.

bottle... light golden color with a small lingering white head and spotty lacing. aromas of lots of yeast, spiciness, dried apricots and fresh flowers. sweetness hits the palate first but is soon followed by dry yeast and a lightly bitter finish. the flavor is pretty much the same as the aroma... a little sweet for my liking. medium body with airy carbonation which gives it a creamy soft mouth feel...

Bottle. Pours hazy orange with a fluffy white head. Ripe fruit in the aroma, orange, peach, apricot and maybe even raspberry, as well as yeast. Medium body, very smooth. Flavor is tart and sweet, with orange, apricot, and floral hops, followed by a pleasantly bitter finish. Very well balanced and easy to drink. This is something I could drink every day.

Drank it at Sunny’s, Bangalore. Pours a hazy orange. Flavor is malty and fruity. Awesome finish - a hoppy bite that gives this beer great character

Drank it on tap at Mason’s in Sacramento. Pours golden and hazy with nice carbonation. Light/medium bodied, very well balanced between malts and hops. However, it is spicy at the end. One of the best finishes I’ve had so far.
