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

Pours a cloudy gold-brown with a loose, frothy, beige head that laces nicely. The aroma is of yeast, pear, apple, citrus, white grapes, candy sugar and faint alcohol. Medium-bodied and fairly lively with a yeasty dry finish and a touch of alcohol warmth. The flavor is citric and yeasty with spice/pepper layered over raisin and apple. A decent enough tripel, but I was expecting more from this one given Chimay’s reputation. At $4+ for a 33cl bottle, I doubt that I’ll be coming back to this one any time soon.

Bottle. Poured a cloudy gold with a large head. Aroma of spice and malt. Flavor of the same. Good beer and the easiest to drink of the three Chimay beers.

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
