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

750 into a trappist glass. Red is still my favorite, but this is also delicious! A very good tripel.

Not too much point giving the finer details due to the large amount of ratings. But I thought it was a solid beer with a great nose and first few sips but doesn’t finish quite as well as I had hoped.

Bottle poured into a Trappist glass produced a very light, tan head and beautiful bright orange body. Good balance of sweetness and bitterness. Smell and taste reminded me of white grapes.

white frothy head. golden orangish poor. sweet aroma of banana, caramel, white grape, and yeast. Bit boozy. Bit fizzy at front. still a lot of sweetness of dried bananas and dark fruit such as raisins as well as yeast. Cinnamon spice as well. but still balanced. tasty

Really liked this one. Pours a hazy off white goldish color. Lots of bubbles. Grassy aroma...some citrus notes too. Has a slight hop note and some spiced citrus as well. Will definately be buying a big boy bottle of this one!

Pours a golden orange with barely any head but lots of rising bubbles. Aromas of yeast, raisin, and funk. Tastes of yeast, funk, lactic, bitter hops, peppery hops. Complex.

raisins, coriander, and wheat in the smell, it is a hazy amber-orange with a thick lasting head. its very dry, taste is a typical triple, coriander, drying taste, spices, a little honey sweetness at the end, very light like honey syrup. the mouthfeel is incredibly smooth, thick and full. this is a great great every now and then ultra quality beer.
