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

Amber. Very creamy head. Fruit, alcohol, yeast, a hint of dry bitterness in the finish. A very balanced trippel.

Good cloudy color, wonderfull head. I can smell the yeast from across the room, nice. Great full, malty mouthfeel. Creamy. Lots of yeast, fruit up front but also very defined by its bitterness. Very present alcohol, but not offensive. A triple that is not boring and dry, I like it!

I detect a baked apple taste, with some yeast thrown in to boot. Also, there was a certain mustiness about it that I felt detracted from the beer. There wasn’t much of an aroma, and its appearance was hurt by its weak head and murky body. Note - I had the beer in its 11.2Oz ’Triple’ incarnation.

I could really dig this beer. It reminds me of a four 0 cause of the size, so i put it in a bag and enjoyed. Its kinda like what ya drink after a ghetto wedding. Whats with all the names, does this beer think its prince or what? I say it should go with the cinq cents cause it sounds cool and also becuase the blanche thing gives me visions of the golden girls. As far as the beer itself, it was really good, one of the best. It tasted a lil bit weird at first, but very good. Lots of cool flavors in this, but my belgian palate was not what it is now, so i want some more.

Belgian strong aroma. Murky orange in color with large, mostly lasting, frothy, off-white head. Lots of carbonation. My palate had to get used to this brew initially because I had just eaten a piece of birthday cake. Didn’t take long, however. Fairly well balanced though pretty dry. Strong alcohol profile. Some bitterness and some clove notes. A good brew.

Golden pour with an amberish haze in the center, thick frothy white head. Aroma is of yeast and hops. Tastes present are subdued hops, yeast, a bit of fruitiness, and a breadlike sensation. Finishes very smooth and silky. Very nice brew.
