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

Delicious Belgian ale, complete with subtle hops and fruitiness.

You can’t drink this too cold, or it’s acidic. When it is a wee bit warm, then the pineapple/apricot aroma and flavors come through. Dry, tart, earth-grassy. Aftertaste hangs around, but it’s not bad. Tall, stiff, crystal white head. Peachy-gold and cloudy. Steal some yeast off the bottom of the bottle for your homebrew.

I don’t know when I have enjoyed a tripel more. Did not have all that musty aroma and flavor instead it was clean yet complex.

An overall very nice beer. A strong creamy head, pure white with a light spicey fruity aroma which follows through on the palate. Balanced by a finishing bittersweet hop/malt component.

Cloudy medium gold, lots of foam. Nose is floral, spicy and active. Flavor is nicely subdued and classy, with just the right amounts of fruit, spice and bitter finish. An outstanding creation.

Starts with peppery aromas and a spicy palate. This foamy beer continues with caramel notes and ends with more spices. Has a nice warming finish. Good ole Chimay!

Awesome, especially having the red, white & blue side by side. This is the fruitiest and leaves an awesome sweet, dark fruity, then bitter aftertaste. Thanks to Jaymobrown for bringing the Chimays over!
