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

11.2 oz bottle, pours hazy golden color with visible sediment floating near the bottle of the bottle. Bottle was chilled, but a large, fluffy head still formed. One word I can use to describe this beer: smooth! Tastes like what Stone Vertical epic ’07 tried to taste like. Fruity/spiced aroma, complex taste of fruits, spice, and slight alcohol upon warming. Goes down very smoothly (too smoothly?). Probably my favorite of the three Chimay’s

And orange beer leaning towards amber with a powerful head. Aroma is full of tropical fruits and herbs. Rich in flavor where one picks up hints of pineapple, passion fruit and more herbs. Bitterness blends in well towards the end. Perhaps slightly too large late bitterness for me to give it a better score.

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a cloudy deep orange/gold with off-white head. Aroma is great, fruit, citrus, floral, barn. Flavor is just as good, malt, barnyard, citrus, nice little hoppy bitter. Mouthfeel is pretty solid with crisp carbonation. Overall, pretty good stuff!

Pours a hazy blond apple cider color. Small fizzy white head. Nose of bananas, clove, yeast, and just a whispering of alcohol. A great bitterness that is very light. Some yeasty bread flavors with a nice fruity layer. Leaves a pretty dry finish. I know everyone loves the blue, but the white is definitely my favorite.

Solid head of foam, with a delicate aroma really entice you tosavor every sip of tis winner. A very agreeable, mild, but noticeable finish encourages patient enjoyment of this light wonder. The taste is quite balanced, without being overwhelmed by bitterness or any one ingredient--you can almost forget that this is an 8% alcohol brew.

25 ounce bottle. Pours a murky golden-amber color with a massive, soapy white head. Taste is of hops, malt wheat, yeast and is fruity. It is really bitter, but it complements the beer. The aroma matches the taste. On par with the Chimay Rogue (Red). Like the Red, this is a pretty excellent beer as it is rather tasty, easy to drink, and for the quality it is priced fairly.

Pours a hazy golden with a giant white head, tiny bits in suspension, looks quite viscous, significant lacing... Aroma is dominated by belgian yeast, with notes of apple, bubblegum... Flavor follows complexly with notes of vanilla, yeast, fruits... Very creamy, with a dry finish...
