A bit hazy golden colored beer, with a nice white foamed head. The aroma isn’t very strong, a bit spicey, some fruits and hoppy. The taste is mild, notes from malt, hop and fruits. A good triple, but not my favorite.

does not count  Jul 4, 2008 Though not to everyone’s taste, the discernible bitterness adds to the character of this particular tripel. The best looking of the Chimay beers, with a durably brillliant whiite head, and reassuring sediment clouding the last of the pour, Cinq Cents is a great beer.

Jul 4, 2008 Chimay Blanche pours a very cloudy golden color with a magnificent white head. The head does not lace and thins out after a couple drinks. To the nose the yeast is immediately present. As well as some spiciness and fruit, possibly grape or lemon. Your nose does not lie there is some bitterness, but overall Blanche is a very smooth and tasty brew.

Jun 26, 2008 Slightly cloudy and dark golden pour with a huge white head that eventually recedes. Spicey and fruity aroma, slightly sweet. Flavor is yeasty with a slightly mustiness on the front end. Middle reveals some banana, clove, apple and dried fruit. Finishes dry with lingering yeast. Pretty solid!

Jun 25, 2008 33cl bottle, pours a hazy golden with a sizable white head, moderate lacing. Aroma is candied fruits, yeast, some citrus hops and spice. Flavor is more candied fruits sweetness, with some spice and a light citrus. Not bad, and a notch better than the Westmalle Tripel, but realizing this style isn’t doing much for me.
