Feb 19, 2008 Very hazy gold color. Lots of white head at the top, but I later found out that I stored it improperly (store upright, not on it’s side). Strong taste, can’t tell the flavor, but it’s strong. I prefer Chimay Red more than White.

Feb 18, 2008 Pours a cloudy gold with a huge white head. The nose is very fruity with bananas and candied orange. There is a nice hoppy bitterness on the tongue and it finishes crisp with a nice bitter after taste. Nice carbonation and the alcohol is nicely hidden.

Feb 17, 2008 The date stamp on the cork is 03/07.The beer was poured into Chimay glasses and produced a thick off-white head. The head eventually dropped to 1/4 inch but never faded totally. The beer is a highly-carbonated bright amber orange, and it’s quite attractive. (Food should please the eyes as well as the palate.) The aroma is surprisingly hoppy with a underlying sweet malt and hints of fruit. The aromas are precursors to the flavor palette. A complex blend of hoppy, fruity and yeasty. There are a range of spices lingering in there as well; pepper, cinnamon are noted. A faint candy sweetness waits in the background. The aftertaste has some drying bitterness with peachy fruitiness in the end. I found the alcohol to be very well-masked.

Feb 16, 2008 Large bottle. Hazy golden with white head. Floral! Quite high carbonization. A nice tripel that I can recommend to the person that enjoys tripels.

Feb 11, 2008 Botella. Comprada en supermercado. Muy buena. Gran aroma. Amarga. A pesar de lo bueno de la cerveza, no me conquistò.

Feb 8, 2008 very very heady, I didn’t have the correct glass to pour it into and it was foaming all over the place. Definitely foams more than the the Chimay Blue. Very good taste, has a decent spice taste but much less than the Chimay Blue. The alcohol content is not as prevalent as the Blue. Would buy again.

Feb 6, 2008 Poured as usual into the ol’ Chimay goblet. Golden in color, with a thin white head that leaves lots of lacing.
Smell is a bit underwhelming, with spices and mustiness.
Taste is medicinal with lots of spices and yeast. There’s also a bright estery fruitiness. Some booziness is apparent here.
Carbonation is a bit high. Lightness in body contributes to the booziness taking over the palate with too much warmth.
