Chimay Triple / Blanche (White)

Brewed by Chimay
Style: Abbey Tripel
Baileux, Belgium

Color is hazy, golden orange. Head is quite thick and lacing is nice and long lasting. Fruity and yeasty aroma is also dry. Taste is spicy, fruity, sour, yeasty with a hint of alcohol. Hops brings nice bitterness. Palate is medium and much carbonated. Foams quite much in mouth.

330 ml bottle. Hazy orange colour with tiny bits of yeast and a big frothy white head. Fruity aroma with some hops and spices. Soft and foamy mouthfeel. Spicy, fruity flavour and a long bitter hoppy finish. An excellent beer, very enjoyable.

Poured a hazy light gold color with a small white head. Nice aromas or yeast and hops. Flavor is mostly yeast and hops, but also citrusy and a variety of spices. Medium-bodied with a little bite on the tongue. Overall, very solid.

Pours a orange color, slightly hazy, topped with a thick off-white foamy head. Slightly creamy head. Aroma is fruity banana with some yeast and vanilla. The flavor is citrusy with a mix of fruits, banana, grapefruit, and orange. Somewhat of a tart, winey, sour presence. Overall this is quite good with a complex mix of flavors while being even quite refreshing.

It poured hazy orange liquid with a huge icecream looking foam that rose like a mountain above the rim of the glass. As it receded it left little craters and lots of lacing along the side of the glass. This is a great look for a beer, very appealing. It had a fairly strong smell of yeast, oranges, other citrus fruits, malt and a hint of hops. There where some more smells which I couldn’t quite place. The mouthfeel was smooth, despite a medium amount of carbonation. It had a medium body and medium bitterness. It tasted similar to what it smelled, yeast, oranges, citrus and a hint of hops. Not very sweet, a bit dry and felt complex. There where more tastes that I couldn’t put my finger on. A very nice beer.

Pours an unfiltered blonde amber with a gererous cream colored head. It has aromas of wheat, apricot, apple spice, and honey. Has an earthy taste coupled with flavors of yeast and subdued hops. There is some moderate carbonation but the alcohol is virtually hidden. A very nice beer to muse over.

Draught at Q-Brick in Osaka. Very good hops, for both aroma and bitterness. Big, long bitter finish. Yeasty, fruity nose, with biscuity malt. Smooth, full, and mellow flavor with a touch of creaminess. Lovely, with better hops than the bottled version.
