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

Very big long lasting head. Nice coppery orange in the Chimay chalice. Lightly spiced aroma with yeast notes. Clean and smooth. LIght dust notes on the tongue. Interesting and lasting dusty hop finish. Can feel the alcohol in your nose. Excellent.

In my opinion this is the 'worst' Chimay. Offcourse it's still an excellent beer. Good spicy taste
#Rerate (april 12, 2004) Aged. Apple and yeast in aroma. Malty, sweet and full. Lacks fruitiness compared to the chimay speciale. The Speciale is certainly better for aging purposes.

What did I learn? Never be a cheap fuc#*ing bastard when it comes to tasty beers that you never see on tap! I tasted some of my friend's blanche on tap but didn't buy my own glass of it. And I've been thinking about it ever since. It was incredible compared to the bottled version. Wonderful fruity aroma with a light citrusness and a bit of alcohol. Sweet and fruity with a light spicy aftertaste and some bitterness. Fizzy and highly carbonated with a light body. Some alcohol in the aftertaste. Much better on tap.

I really like this kind of beer. It has a lot to offer. Complete head that last, golden-colored. Lot of sweetness, strength, and herbs.

I had this draft, so I assume that it may be younger than the bottled versions described by other raters. Clear, not cloudy as I expected. Great lace after the small white head dissipated. Taste of cloves, pepper, wheat, and alcohol, a little fruitiness (banana maybe), and then a lightly bitter finish.

Light amber with a thick white head. Yeasty and malty aroma; almost wheaty. Also, alcoholic on the aroma. Very carbonated, light bodied, malty finishing with a mild bitterness. Surprisingly smooth.
