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

Bottle. Great head on this beer. It only gets better..Like some have said, fruity and floral. One of the best beers that I’ve ever enjoyed. A great Summer brew. The fruity notes combined with the hops makes it very well balanced.

This is a very good triple. Fruity aroma. And no doubt: This is Chimay with the characteristic yeast-flavour. I love it! Draught at The Danish Beerfestival 2003: Even better than bottled!

I really like this beer, and i’d go as far as to say its probably my favoured Chimay, soft floral aroma. Deep orange colour with a pillowy head at first fading to a thin head which sticks all the way down to the bottom. Dry, bitter orange peel flavour aswell as added spice and pepperiness and a medium to full body, smooth aswell with abitter aftertaste. excellent beer, lots of flavour.

Finally tried the white. Could it be my favorite of the Chimays? Fun interpretation of the Tripel style, with that pleasant musty monastic essence. Drier than the others, but would go equally well with a hunk o’bleu as an aperitif. Splendid.

Outstanding when chilled well.Hints of raisins and a refreshing finish. The favorite of the trappists themselves(those who drink, that is)

Pretty beer with the typical clean trappist head. This IS a trappist ale that I could enjoy without feeling guily that I was wasting something precious. While it is by no means an everyday drink, it is very easy to drink, and the subtle fruitiness makes it quite pleasant. After having the Blue, I do enjoy the Blanche more.

Make sure to use the right glass!! Enormous white head. Light tan in color. Multitudes of lacing. A relaxing aroma to enlighten your nose. Light bodied with great fruity following. Nice ligering after taste blending the hops and malts. Awsome.

This is my favorite triple. The flavor is much more developed than what most people would be used to tasting what tripels are. Pair this food with anything from chicken dishes, sushi, and pasta! Red meat...... hmmm it could work!! I would suggest the BLUE label first and the RED second. Kind like if you want hot salsa (Blue label) or if you want mild salsa (Red label) with your dish!!
