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

It’s comforting to know that a pleasurable experience can still be had even when Trader Joe’s is sold out of Chimay Blue.

Chimay is such a great beer. I must say this was quite enjoyable, although not as enjoyable as the ’Chimay Bleu.’

I started off with he intention of rating a bottle of ’best before 2001’ chimay white but decided to taste it alongside a ’BB 2004’. First 2004 was soapy from yeast autolysation so I opened a second bottle of 2004. The difference between 2004 and 2001 was incredible. Fruity, sweet malt and bready aroma and something else I just couldnt put a name to. Visualy the two where hard to tell apart, but the flavour in the older bottle was just so much smoother and rounder. If youve got the patience it is certainly worth cellaring a bottle of white for a couple of years.

This is a very good beer. Poured a bloudy orange with a nice white head. Taste was very spritzy and fruity...very nice.
