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

Aroma is slightly hoppy with floral undertones - very crisp and neat. Pours with a nice white head that persists. Nice lacing, cloudy body. A sweet start with a bitter finish (which nicely disguises the 8% ABV), this ale is smooth and tasty. There is something in the taste that makes me think of wildflowers...Light and creamy on the tongue with a tingling sensation as the bubbles from the head pass over.

Hazy orangey yellow with big and intense pale head. Nose is soft, gently wheaty and spicy. Same dry, earth like aroma as in Chimay’s port salut. Flavor starts malty and soft, but finishes dry and chalky with some hops and peppery spiciness. Very appetizing. Mouthfeel medium to full bodied with quite strong, but smooth carbonation.

Fairly fruit flavored beer that mixes well with yeast. Slightly bitter aftertaste, but refreshing.

330ml bottle in namesake chalice. Murky orange colour under a small fizzy head. Sediment laden. Aromas of orange,hops, dried apricot and yeast. Fruit and pepper come through strong...alcohol is felt and welcomed all the way down to the gut. Well crafted to say the least.

Pours a cloudy golden color with a creamy white head and some beautiful lacing in a trappist glass. Great aromas of bread, hops and fruit. Waited a bit for the head to settle before partaking, and the wait was worth it! Fruit and yeast dominates. with some hops and an alcohol bite. Finish is ever so slightly bitter. Those Belgians have done it again! Great beer!

Pours a hazy golden color with a white head. Aromas of bread, dough, flowers, grass and citrus. Excellent flavors of hops and fruitiness with a slightly bitter finish. Medium body with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation that tingles on the tongue. A very well made tripel, one of my favories.

I’m not one for really fruity beers, but this one blends the abundance of fruit witha good alcohol content. Great aroma and taste. Goes down smooth with some welcome aftertaste
