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

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.

Poured a cloudy golden color with nice white head that lasted a while. Aroma is yeasty and is also fruity. Flavor is crisp, clean and fruity with a touch of bitterness. The mouthfeel is very nice and this beer disguises the 8% alcohol very well. Nice beer to sip and savor.

Chimay Cinq Cents is a very carbonated golden ale with particles swirling around in it. The head is huge and foamy. The aroma is bready and grassy with banana and clove. It is very smooth on the mouth with a medium-full body. It has a well-blended flavor, a touch sweet with banana bread, cloves and leather. An excellent tripel.
